Company Profile

Company Overview

Founded as the Capital Children’s Museum in 1974, the museum served kids and families in the Washington region for thirty years in Northeast Washington, D.C. Renamed in 2003 with US Congressional designation, the National Children’s Museum operated as a museum without walls for several years; serving the region through traveling exhibitions, partnerships with other nonprofits, as well as community and school outreach programs. For a few years, a small museum space was opened to the public at the National Harbor, but closed in preparation for NCM’s next stage. Today, the National Children's Museum is poised for its greatest chapter yet, as it prepares to reopen adjacent to the National Mall in March 2019.
