Curious George: Let’s Get Curious!
May 12 – November 11, 2007
The new Curious George exhibit will inspire young children’s natural curiosity as they explore early science, math and engineering through hands-on interactive play. The immersive exhibit environment takes place in the neighborhood where Curious George lives with his friend, The Man with the Yellow Hat. Visitors will recognize familiar characters and places featured in the classic stories and the PBS KIDS television series.

Access/ABILITY
Opens May 26, 2007
access/ABILITY is a sensitive and myth-dispelling exhibit that presents people living with disabilities as participants in the world and features fun and engaging activities that show the similarities and differences in how each of us – with or without disabilities – goes places, communicates, has fun and learns. Visitors will have a chance to learn phrases in American Sign Language, type their name in Braille, try a hand-pedaled bike and take part in a multi-sensory City Walk. In conjunction with access/ABILITY, the Museum also brings Discover What Art Is… an artistic exploration of the personal meaning of art to K-12 students with disabilities.
Support provided by Frey Foundation. Promotional support by Star Tribune.
