2012–13 Annual Report
We Take Play Seriously
We are blessed with community treasures that add such vitality and character to our culture. That includes the Madison Children’s Museum. No matter your age, you will learn in every visit to this special place, and you will recognize the value of its programs and people. This Annual Report is but a snapshot of events, participants, and exhibits. It is such a worthy investment in our future. Come and play! Be inspired! Learn and grow! Share talents and knowledge! Become a part of our ever-growing family… and bring your friends!
Diane Ballweg, Chair, Board of Directors
“ Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from
serious learning. But for children play is serious
learning. Play is really the work of childhood.”
— Fred Rogers
Play is essential. It’s how kids learn to invent, share, and explore. We don’t impose boundaries and there is no right way to play at MCM. This open-ended environment makes learning through play possible.
This year alone, over 210,000 children and families explored four brand new, custom-crafted permanent exhibits and 14 temporary exhibits in the galleries; expanded their knowledge at 800 educational classes and workshops; and attended fun events that brought them closer to the people and places of their community.
Madison Children’s Museum is a learning playground with chances to make a discovery or a mess or a brand new friend during every visit. We look forward to continuing and improving our work as we look to
2014 and beyond. Thank you for being part of it.
Deb Gilpin, Executive Director
Mission: Madison Children’s Museum connects children with their families, their communities, and the

outside Dane County.
We model sustainability
Anticipated to be the first LEED-certified museum
in Wisconsin, MCM is a model of green renovation,
exhibit design, and sustainable operations.
MCM’s goal is to always say yes to play, which is
why we created the Access for Everyone program.
After all, it’s the kids that fill our museum with
wonder!
Access for Everyone provided more than $200,000
in discounts in FY13, allowing 30,228 high-need
children, caregivers, and groups to engage in
playful learning at the museum — 14.4% of our
total audience served.
Access for Everyone is made possible by underwriting support from
generous corporations, foundations, and individuals.

The museum’s annual budget includes a heavy reinvestment back
into its one-of-a-kind floor exhibits and broad range of creative
educational programs.
To keep admission and membership prices low, Madison Children’s
Museum relies on community support for nearly half the operations
budget. The majority of those monies come from generous donors
and dedicated event volunteers.
