Explora Children's Museum in Rome

What are the highlights of Explora Children’s Museum in Rome?

Open to the public since 2001, the Explora Children’s Museum is a nonprofit and privately owned permanent museum constructed purely for children and consisting of play and experimentation in equal measure to boost cognitive and emotional functioning through various means. The museum’s exhibit pavilion includes a pasture, a well-equipped playground, a kitchen hosting food education workshops, a cafeteria, a restaurant, a bookstore, a gift shop and a parking area.

The cast iron of the pavilion pays homage to the recovery of the truss roof designed by French engineer Polonceau, a contemporary of Eiffel, allowing the site to qualify for site-specific placement and redevelopment.
