Museum of Infancy & Childhood
Wander an immersive museum of how families have welcomed and raised babies through history — the cradles and prams that carried them, the bottles, rattles, and swaddling of the nursery, the customs and culture of early childhood, and the milestones of a baby’s first year, each in its own gallery, so you can get to know the stories behind the objects and ideas that shape how we care for the very young.
