Boston Globe Previews Re-Design of Boston Children’s Museum |

The Boston Globe’s
Arts and Entertainment Reporter Geoff Edgers provided readers with a
preview of the expansion of the Boston Children’s Museum in his article
“Going With the Flow: Expansion Should Make Frenzied Children’s Museum
Easier to Navigate” (3/31/07). Edgers writes: “At the heart of the new
Children’s Museum is a glass-walled, rectangular expansion that, in a
sense, has been placed in front of the taller, existing brick warehouse
building. The defining feature of the newer space is its open feel.”
He goes on to say that “Visitor flow has driven the project to the
point that the expanded Children’s Museum isn’t actually all that much
bigger than the old space. In total, the museum now takes up 105,000
square feet, just 10,000 square feet more than before. How can an
expanded museum be barely expanded? It was an easy sell to the
museum’s board, given the institution’s needs.” BCM board chairman
Thomas E. Moloney confirms this in his interview with Edgers, adding
“The most important thing is the museum becomes much more
functional.” The Boston Children’s Museum is reopening in April.
