Founded in 1925, The Children's Museum of Indianapolis is a nonprofit institution committed to creating extraordinary family learning experiences across the arts, sciences, and humanities that have the power to transform the lives of children and families. The museum’s status as a leader, not just among children’s museums but among museums in general, has been confirmed by a number of “Best of” lists. The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis has received a number of accolades, including awards from USAToday, New York Times, Time for Kids, and more. It’s the largest children’s museum in the world with a 482,950 square-foot campus situated on 29 acres, a 130,000+ object collection, and more than 1.2 million visitors a year.
For their updated Dinosphere exhibit opening in March 2022, the museum commissioned a work that details how feathered dinosaurs may have appeared and behaved. The work has sculptural plaster underneath and resin on top to allow the visually impaired and sensory-oriented to enjoy and experience it.
