The Moody Family Children’s Museum at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science in Dallas has reopened with a bold new vision: to nurture imagination and empower young children to be brave, curious and daring.
NorthernLight designed this transformative new space, resulting in a playful, colorful and larger-than-life environment where more than 180 interactive touchpoints invite open-ended discovery.
From the moment visitors step inside, the space invites freedom, creativity and hands-on learning. Each area is tailored to specific types of play and development. At the heart of the museum lies the Imaginarium, a fully immersive digital space that responds to children’s ideas, movements and energy. It also features a sensory-rich Toddler Area, a Creative Makery, and the vibrant Woven Wonders Climbing Structure, designed by artist Toshiko MacAdam, where art and physical play come together. The renewed Children’s Museum is designed to ensure that its resources and experiences are more accessible, inclusive, and impactful than ever before. It’s a bold reimagining of what a museum can be: not a place to be taught, but a place to grow, wonder and play.
Developed in close collaboration with the passionate team of the Perot Museum, the new museum offers a dynamic space where learning feels intuitive, creativity thrives and children naturally take the lead. We were honored to collaborate with Bruns, their exceptional craftsmanship brought our vision to life. A big thank you also goes to Kiss the Frog and Ata Tech B.V.
