我们的使命：The New Children’s Museum 是一种新型的儿童博物馆，其使命是通过富有创意且引人入胜的当代艺术体验来激发儿童和家庭的想象力、创造力和批判性思维。

我们的愿景：为了应对社会中的一个关键需求，并通过当代艺术成为吸引儿童发展的领导者，以培养21世纪所需的技能。

我们的历史：博物馆于1983年在La Jolla开放，名为圣地亚哥儿童博物馆。1993年，它搬到了市中心的一个仓库，成为了儿童博物馆/儿童博物馆。博物馆在2008年重新开放为The New Children’s Museum——其中“新”这个词象征着我们委托当代艺术家为儿童创作沉浸式艺术装置的关注焦点。

我们的建筑：The New Children’s Museum 是一座引人注目的多层50,000平方英尺的建筑，包括一系列透明、灵活的空间，这些空间清晰地展示了建筑的构造和设计。这座由富有远见和屡获殊荣的建筑师Rob Wellington Quigley设计的动态空间是加州首批绿色博物馆之一。

我们致力于为所有家庭提供一个欢迎的空间。我们相信多样性、公平、可访问性和包容性对于实现我们的使命至关重要，即通过与当代艺术的互动体验来激发儿童的想象力、创造力、批判性思维和合作精神。查看我们的完整DEAI声明。

The New Children’s Museum 通过让儿童接触艺术和创造过程来释放他们内在的创造力。

Our mission: The New Children’s Museum is a new model of children’s museum whose mission is to stimulate imagination, creativity and critical thinking in children and families through inventive and engaging experiences with contemporary art.

Our vision:  To address a critical need in our society and become a leader in engaging children through contemporary art in order to develop the skills needed for the 21st century.

Our history: The Museum opened in La Jolla in 1983 as The Children’s Museum of San Diego. It moved in 1993 to a downtown warehouse to become the Children’s Museum/Museo de los Niños. The Museum reopened in 2008 as The New Children’s Museum – with the word “new” signifying our focus on commissioning contemporary artists to create immersive art installations for children to explore.

Our building. The New Children’s Museum is a dramatic, multi-level 50,000 square-foot building that includes a series of transparent, flexible spaces which visibly expose the building’s construction and design. Designed by visionary and award-winning architect Rob Wellington Quigley, the dynamic space is one of the first green museums in California.

Our commitment is to providing a welcoming space for all families. We believe that diversity, equity, accessibility and inclusion are integral to fulfilling our mission of stimulating imagination, creativity, critical thinking and collaboration in children through engaging experiences with contemporary art.
