Museum of Makers + Innovator’s mission is to build a museum that sparks curiosity and wonder, and ignites the lifelong love of learning. MOMI is in response to the need for more equitable and inclusive learning opportunities for children and their families. Our plan is to create a place for innovative, experiential learning that connects creativity with science and nature. We plan on building a museum of the future with indoor and outdoor exhibits that will inspire the next generation to dream big and think even bigger.
To build a new museum will take planning and perseverance. We have just begun the journey and need support of the entire community to move forward with our vision.
This pandemic has taken many things away from us. Yet more than ever we all have re-discovered the Power of Play and how it defines us as humans - the need to connect with one another that is hands-on. Play helps us cope with the unimaginable. Play brings us joy.
While our vision remains the same to build a hands-on and minds-on world class museum for families in New Jersey, we remain first and foremost committed to building resilience in our communities by sparking children’s learning through play.
Here is what we’ve done and where we want to go:
We are excited to announce our partnership with the Playful Learning Landscapes Action Network to transform everyday community spaces into joyful learning opportunities.

Together we can build more playful communities - one community at a time.
