Children’s Museum of Houston was founded in 1980 and housed in a building that was designed by Robert Venturi. Located in the Museum District in Houston, Texas, it offers multiple innovative exhibits and bilingual learning programs for kids to engage with from birth to 12 years old. It already catered to more than 1,400,000 people annually and it has been one of 190 children’s museums in the United States and 15 children’s museums in Texas.
The Museum was founded to help elevate early childhood development to a community-wide priority. The museum opened in 1984 but originally leased space from the Blaffer Gallery of the University of Houston. Many years late, it moved to 11,000 square-foot of leased space to the former Star Engraving Company Building on Allen Parkway.
The Museum serves more than a million people every year and it has received many awards like being the first place in 2005 ranking of children’s museum. As well as in 2001 where the Child Magazine ranked the museum in second place. As per Parents magazine, it was considered as “America’s No. 1 Children’s Museum.
