Pop-Up Museum
As part of our commitment to ensuring that every child and family has access to a high-quality children’s museum experience, we are very excited to provide the Kohl Children’s Pop-Up Museum. This allows us to serve children and families in under-resourced areas by bringing our exhibits and programs to them directly, inspiring future generations in their own neighborhoods.
