National Children’s Museum and Sesame Partner
The National Children’s Museum (NCM) will work in partnership with Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit organization behind Sesame Street, to provide the nonprofit with a permanent place in the museum to extend the Workshop’s educational mission. The National Children’s Museum will provide Sesame Workshop a permanent museum home in the nation’s capital extending the Workshop’s educational mission. As part of the partnership, Sesame Street, and its characters, through interactive exhibits, educational video segments and books, will be integrated into elements of the Museum’s Early Learners gallery
and incorporated in select Museum events and programming. Additionally, Sesame Workshop will collaborate with NCM on content development, exhibits, and program creation for the Museum’s Our World gallery, which will focus on diverse cultures and places around the globe.
The National Children’s Museum will open in 2013 at National Harbor, Md.
