The Connecticut Children’s Museum located in New Haven, Connecticut, USA is an interactive museum aimed at children ages 3-9. All exhibits are inspired by the theory of multiple intelligences and include an observation bee hive, a post office, and a “Great Green Room” from the popular children’s book Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown.
Musical Intelligence Room
The eight permanent exhibits are themed around each different intelligence: Musical, Bodily-Kinesthetic, Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, Logical-Mathematical, Linguistic, Spatial, and Naturalist. The museum also provides books in each room for visitors to look at which enrich each exhibit in a variety of textures and languages.
The museum building also houses the Creating Kids Child Care Center and the Early Childhood Resource Center. Creating Kids offers a program with a project-based curriculum inspired by MI theory. The children spend their day with a small group in a stimulating environment designed for learning and celebrating different intelligences. More information on the museum can be found at their website.
We would like to thank Annick Winokur for bringing this museum to our attention.
