Museum Looking for Help to Launch Bob the Builder Exhibit Tour
The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis is in the preliminary stages of assembling a traveling exhibition featuring Bob the Builder and his friends and is looking for home builders associations and other organizations to help sponsor the undertaking, according to the Builders Association of Greater Indianapolis, which is a partner with the museum.
The museum, which is the largest children’s museum in the world, has been licensed by HIT Entertainment to create a 2,500-square-foot educational exhibit that would travel to 15 cities over the next five years.
Designed for young children, the proposed exhibit includes opportunities to manipulate tools, build, count, explore, role-play and work together with others.
The museum hopes to obtain financial commitments by the end of this year to build the exhibit in early 2005 and open it next summer. In addition to home builders associations, they are looking for builders and industry suppliers to sponsor the exhibit.
