Diapers & Wipes
Hello!
We currently have extra diapers and baby wipes available to guests by request. We are looking into putting out diapers and wipes for guests to use without needing to ask a staff member. If you have diapers and/or baby wipes freely available at your museum, about how many do you go through per month or year?
Thank you!

Train and Steel Exhibit Ideas
We are in the exploratory phases of researching a new exhibit at The Johnstown Children's Museum and are thinking about an exhibit on trains while also tying in Johnstown's steel history.
We do already have a train table and model trains on display. We also have windows with a great view of the tracks outside our building, for which I have created a large train bingo board.
What are some train or steel history/making elements you have in your museums that work w...
