Minnesota Children’s Museum (2015), Saint Paul, MN

COMMUNITY IMPACT

NMTC financing helped make the expansion and renovation of a childrens museum possible. Financing was used to make exhibit design upgrades and expansions throughout the existing Museum. Museum anticipates that more visitors will be served through the Play for All program, a program designed to offer free family memberships, discounts to school and community groups, and free family nights.
