Work on The Exploration Place's latest gallery is set to begin in January.
The new permanent STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) interactive gallery, which will be aimed at young children, will feature hands-on activities designed to inspire curiosity and learning.
The interactive exhibits will combine education with play, creating a space for families to explore together and addressing the community’s demand for more child-friendly activities in Prince George, states the announcement.
It's being funded in part by a donation from the Y.P. Heung Foundation.
"We are incredibly grateful to the Y.P. Heung Foundation for their continued support in bringing these educational experiences to our community," stated executive director Alyssa Leie. "This new space will not only enhance our offerings but also reinforce our dedication to listening to community needs and making The Exploration Place a welcoming environment for visitors of all ages."
The Y.P. Heung Foundation previously supported the museum’s 2021 renovation, transforming it into a space dedicated to arts and culture.
