The Grand Rapids Public Museum (GRPM) has announced the extension of the popular special exhibition TOYS!, and two new exhibitions opening at the Museum this fall, Design Zone and Bodies Revealed.
Influenced by its popularity and positive visitor feedback, the GRPM will be extending the TOYS! exhibition for an additional year. The exhibition has been widely popular, engaging visitors of all ages in a trip down memory lane of toys from their childhood, while having opportunities for play within the space.
“We are overwhelmed by the community response to the TOYS! exhibit,” said Alex Forist, Chief Curator at the GRPM. “This exhibit was designed with the community in mind, to create an exhibition they could connect with at a deep level related to science, history and culture of toys across generations. We spent a year in the design and planning process, working with community experts to make TOYS! accessible to all, and the visitor feedback we’ve received has confirmed that our process was critical to a positive experience within the exhibit.”
“There is so much to see and do right now at the Museum,” said Dale Robertson, President & CEO at the GRPM. “With three special exhibitions this fall, in addition to our three floors of current exhibitions, the Chaffee Planetarium, the carousel and more – there is something for every age and interest within our community. Thanks to continued support from the Kent County millage, we continue to offer free general admission to children within Kent County, and discounts to adults and seniors, as well as free parking for your Museum visit.”
TOYS! will continue to be offered free with general admission through August 2020 at the GRPM.
