Channel Your Creativity At Museum Lab In Pittsburgh

If you’ve ever been to The Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh, you know it’s all about the kids. Sure, we adults can sit and watch them play, create, explore, and discover, but the entire museum is built around children and their growth. Children 10 and older, who may have matured out of some of the activities at the museum, can now spend their time at The Museum Lab in Pittsburgh.

The Museum Lab, right next door to the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh, offers kids 10 and older the unique opportunity to work side-by-side with Pittsburgh’s makers and to explore their creative sides.

Tucked in the restored former Carnegie Free Library of Allegheny County, the museum welcomes kids and their parents every day to explore its studio, make, and tech labs.

Kiddos can make — either digitally or physically — a variety of projects at the Make Lab, including clothes and furniture. They can even create their own video game.

The Studio Lab, on the other hand, gives kids the chance to channel their creativity through art while the Tech Lab provides the opportunity to learn about an array of subjects, including how to create your own audio recording.

What makes Museum Lab stand out is its partnership with various organizations, such as the Entertainment Technology Center of Carnegie Mellon University, that allow visitors to connect with artists, makers, teachers, and others right at the museum.

In addition to welcoming visitors daily, Museum Lab also hosts workshops and summer studios. Drop-off workshops, for example, are usually held on Saturdays and are designed for kids between 10 and 14 years old.

During the summer, Museum Lab hosts summer camps for kids in sixth through eighth grade. The four-week-long sessions run Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and...

...focus on such topics as fashion design, digital games, woodworking, and Pixar Studios.

Spend a day at Museum Lab, open Monday through Friday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
