About
The Children's Museum of Bogotá (Fundación Museo de los Niños) was a privately managed museum foundation in Bogotá, Colombia's capital city, founded in 1986 and opened to the public in 1987. It aimed at teaching children about science, technology, culture and arts. The foundation operated the Children's Museum in an 8,000 m2 (86,000 sq ft) building in the geographical centre of Bogotá, in which over 23 different modules and hundreds of individual exhibits were housed. The museum served approximately 150,000 visitors per year — 69% of them children under 11 years of age that come to "learn by playing" in the exhibits.
In addition to guided tours, the Children's Museum conducted workshops, special vacation programs for children and highly structured events for schools.
