Residents to Tour New Children’s Museum
June 13, 2007
What
The San Diego Downtown Residents Group will be touring the new Children’s Museum, now under construction. Following the tour, participants will hear about the Museum’s new programs and how they have influenced its unusual atrium-style design.
Why
Families living downtown have long awaited the reopening of the Museum and are anxious to preview the new facility. The new Children’s Museum San Diego rising downtown has been touted as the “greenest” building in the region, with environmentally friendly elements dictating the building’s design.
