Association of Children's Museums
[add logo] The Association of Children's Museums (ACM) is a professional service organization that endeavors to expand the capacity and further the vision of children's museums around the world. ACM's vision is to bring children and families together in a new kind of town square where play inspires lifelong learning. Founded in 1962 as a support group for directors, ACM has broadened its services and purpose as an international association.

For almost 100 years, children's museums have succeeded in their mission of stimulating curiosity and motivating learning in young children. These museums complement efforts in schools, child care centers, and homes to enrich the lives and education of children. ACM is committed to supporting excellence in these efforts.


Work consists of whatever a body is obliged to do. Play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do.
