Omaha Children's Museum by Snøhetta, Omaha, NE, USA
Snøhetta has revealed its design for a new building dedicated to a well-loved institution, the Omaha Children's Museum. Located just a few blocks from the Kiewit Luminarium and overlooking the river, this new facility is designed following best practices in early child development, providing exhibits and programming aimed at fostering joy, curiosity, and connection for young children and their caregivers. Spanning four floors, the museum will build on the 40-year legacy of the existing Omaha Children's Museum and will prioritize inclusivity and fun. Targeting children aged 0-8 years, the museum will feature several exhibition spaces, a 175-seat performance room, a café, and a dedicated play-workshop area.
