Tinkering Lab- Mini Museums

April 10, 2025

I’ve written about the Chicago Children’s Museum Art Studio often, but I don’t think I’ve written about my other favorite space – The Tinkering Lab.

The entrance highlights the guiding principle of tinkering – Make it, Test it, Fix it, Share it which is really evident in the recent program – mini museums.

I got to experience the program as a guest with my youngest granddaughter and checked out the exhibits a couple of other times as well. Here are some of my favorites:

Gymnastics Exhibit
An Art Gallery
This scary one was filled with boxes we were dared to open!
A Taylor Swift Exhibit
It looks just like Cloudbuster!
The Olden Days Exhibit
Ukranian Fiber Arts Exhibit
A Sushi Exhibit
Granddaughter’s Dance Studio complete with dancer
My Gallery featuring an artist who wraps things

I even filled out the paperwork.

And I loaned one of my books “Making a Great Exhibition” to the program.
