The Children’s Museum of Atlanta’s renovation is right around corner! Beginning Saturday, August 1, the Museum will close for a brief period to complete the highly anticipated updates, upgrades and additions. The project, which is set to be completed in late 2015, will include an added mezzanine level, two new permanent exhibits, enhanced existing galleries and permanent performance space for the Museum’s Imaginators.
In honor of the upcoming transformation, the Children’s Museum is celebrating its final weeks with a variety of special festivities, renovation-themed events and more! Families are encouraged to join in on all the closing festivities. Don’t miss this last chance to say goodbye to the old space before welcoming the new Children’s Museum of Atlanta this winter!
