The Brooklyn Children's Museum is a children's museum in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn in New York City. Founded in 1899, it is the first children's museum in the United States – and according to some, the first one worldwide.[1] It is unusual in its location in what is predominantly a residential area.[2] Housed in a multi-level underground gallery,[3] the museum underwent an expansion and renovation to double its space, reopened on September 20, 2008, and became the first green museum in New York City.
