Jane's Innovation Station: Build a Museum
except on May 9, 10, 11, 12, 13

Become the architect of your dreams! Build and develop your very own Children’s Museum, challenge yourself to design it to host specific types of exhibits, and make it structurally sound to operate in the hustle and bustle of the city. What will you dream up?
