ABOUT THE DIMENNA CHILDREN’S HISTORY
MUSEUM
The DiMenna
Children’s History Museum is a
museum-within-a-museum that explores New York and
American history through the eyes of children of the
past. Occupying the New-York Historical Society’s
entire lower level, it includes character-based
pavilions, the Barbara K. Lipman Children’s History
Library, interactive exhibits, and games. The
DiMenna Children’s History Museum encourages
children to identify with the people whose
enterprise and creativity changed the course of our
history. It also hosts a series of family programs,
from Sunday story hours to arts and crafts. All ages
can enjoy and learn in the DiMenna Children’s
History Museum, but the exhibits are targeted at age
8-13.
ABOUT THE NEW-YORK HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Founded in 1804,
the New-York Historical Society has a mission to
explore the richly layered history of New York City
and State and the country, and to serve as a
national forum for the discussion of issues
surrounding the making and meaning of history. New
York Historical is recognized for engaging the
public with deeply researched and far-ranging
exhibitions, such as Alexander Hamilton: The Man
Who Made Modern America; Slavery in New York; Nature
and the American Vision: The Hudson River School at
the New-York Historical Society; Grant and Lee in
War and Peace; Lincoln
and New York; The
Grateful Dead: Now Playing at the New-York
Historical Society; Nueva
York; Revolution! The Atlantic World Reborn; WWII
& NYC; The
Armory Show at 100: Modern Art and Revolution,
and Chinese
American: Exclusion/Inclusion. Supporting
these exhibitions and related education programs is
one of the world’s greatest collections of
historical artifacts, works of American art, and
other materials documenting the history of the
United States and New York.
New-York Historical presents two
groundbreaking exhibitions on view now: Superheroes
in Gotham (through
February 21), sharing the fascinating, inspiring,
and largely unknown history of superheroes in New
York City and beyond; and Silicon
City (through
April 10), exploring New York’s pivotal role in
launching the Digital Age.
