CMOM Exhibitions

About CMOM Exhibitions

CMOM Exhibitions is the rotating exhibition program at the Children’s Museum of Manhattan, on the Upper West Side in Manhattan. The museum opened in 1973 and has built its calendar around hands-on, child-centered shows that blend art, design, science, and early learning. Exhibitions often draw on contemporary children’s book illustration, neighborhood history, and health-focused themes, with interactive components meant to be touched and tested rather than observed at a distance. It reads less like a gallery and more like a civic classroom, scaled to families.
