Do you know why children do not like museums? You can’t shout loudly in them, if you like something, you can’t touch anything to study better, you can’t ask a lot of questions. There is no question of running from exhibit to exhibit. How then to develop curiosity? Of course, together with entertainment and game. Such museums have finally appeared. We tell you where there are places in which young researchers will not be bored, and parents will be able to recall their childhood and join the funny knowledge of the world.
Kidburg, St. Petersburg
This is a whole city with thoughtful gaming centers, where children develop skills that are useful in life. Arriving here, the child receives a citizen’s certificate, a work book, chooses a profession and studies, and then works for a salary. Money can be spent on entertainment or on the development of new skills-everything is in an adult way. Parents also have a choice: to observe from the outside or go about their business, while the children are busy no less important.
“Nikola-Lenivts”, Kaluga region
In the open-air art park there is a huge collection of contemporary art and architecture. While adults are trying to delve into the meaning of unprecedented structures, children go literally to get acquainted with them. For example, they are trying to capture the “universal mind”, to saddle the “gilded body”, to become a guest of the “house over the forest”. To examine more and do not get tired, you can move between the objects of the whole family on bicycles.
Museum of Entertaining Sciences “Experimentaum”, Moscow
The interactive exhibits of the museum clearly talk about mechanics, electricity, magnetism, acoustics, demonstrate optical illusions, puzzles. Children can conduct spectacular experiments with electricity, get acquainted with molecular cuisine and prepare nitrogen ice cream, study the properties of light, practice in robotics and engage in other experiments. Frankly, parents are no less interesting here and it is still unknown who will ask to stay longer.
National Children’s Museum “Eureka”, Galifax, England
It will be interesting for children under 11 years of age, and you can visit the museum right from birth. There are six different thematic zones and hundreds of interactive exhibits. Small researchers can learn a lot of new things about themselves and the world. For example, get acquainted with the structure of the human body, study its organs using special equipment, find out how the brain works, and even jump in a long language.
