The New Children's Museum - San Diego, CA

We recently went on a last minute staycation to our favorite city, San Diego!  One of our must-see stops:  The New Children's Museum!  The reason why I wanted to visit is because they commission art pieces directly from leading contemporary artists and their themes are designed to help visitors think, play and create!  Trash is the current exhibition and the mission is to change how we see trash, and changing perspective starts by asking more questions.

How do we decide what is trash?
How does your trash impact the lives of others?
How can we imagine new possibilities, and a new future for our trash?

Duke jumped right in and started exploring.  We all wanted to venture off on our own though!  There were so many things to look at and so many things to do.

My husband and I were so excited to see Vik Muniz as one of the artists.  We watched a documentary called, "Waste Land" about his work.
