Julie's Journal 4/26/2010

Julie Johnson is the new Director of the Detroit Children's Museum under its new association with the Detroit Science Center. Julie will be blogging her thoughts as she works toward the reopening of this Detroit institution! Here is her seventh post:

Hello all,

A huge thank you to all the visitors that came to the Detroit Children's Museum on April 24. We had a wonderful day with planetarium shows of the Night Sky, seltzer rocket demonstrations, solar system bracelets, exhibit exploration and hands-on fun. It was great to see over 100 visitors at the museum.

This week we are getting ready to make major changes to the exhibits on display. We will be removing some of the current exhibits for ones that haven't been on display for quite a while. We will also be rearranging the current areas to incorporate as much of the floor space for our visitors enjoyment as possible.

We are looking forward to our next Open House on Saturday May 22. Hope to see you there.

Julie Johnson
