Museo Pambata: a hands-on discovery museum for children in Manila, Philippines

What? When? How? Who?
Why, why, why?

Who hasn't been stumped
by the thousand and one questions
of children? To them, everything is new,
urgent, full of wonder.

Museo Pambata, the Philippines'
premier children's museum, hopes
to answer some of these questions - and
stimulate children to be even more inquisitive
and eager to learn. It is a place of hands-on
discovery, a child's window to the world,
providing a view that stays honest and
consistent amidst changing images
and meanings.
