Trash Bash

Discover the fun of being green

October 3  – November 29, 2009

Trash Bash, a new exhibit created by Minnesota Children's Museum, will encourage visitors to increase their knowledge, skills, attitudes, motivation and commitment toward sustaining a healthy environment. Children will use recycled and reused materials to create art, music and imaginative play activities.

The exhibit will also feature Trash Mountain, an interactive exhibit that includes a collection of trash from one family of four for one year, a Tot Spot, an art studio with recycled materials, an interactive music instrument and more. Trash Bash will close on November 29, 2009.
