Lloyd Hezekiah, director of the renowned Brooklyn Children's Museum, which began in 1899 and this past May moved out of temporary quarters in a renovated pool hall and into a free-form $4 million building, calls children's museums "theaters for learning." Showmanship and pedagogy are blended together to create exhibits designed to captivate children on their own level. Instead of being locked away in glass cases, objects ranging from prehistoric skeletons to 19th century dolls are meant to be touched, tapped or even taken apart to discover what lies within.

Opened only last year, the $28 million black granite building in Lower Manhattan resembles a modern free-form museum or college library.

Though he rejects the Self 1 Western view that your self-respect depends...
...This is where reality ends," intones an artful codger togged up as old Father Time. Indeed, for the visitors he greets, the mundane is exorcised for a few hours by a free-form fantasia of mummers, monsters and midgets, pirouetting puppets and Barnum spoofery. All this is encased in The World of Sid & Marty Krofft, a spectacular amusement center that opened last week in Atlanta...
