The Creative Kids Museum, a part of the TELUS World of Science is located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The Children's museum, which opened in October 2006, focuses on hands-on explorations of music, theater and visual arts and is Canada's first hands-on museum dedicated exclusively to the arts. Its location at the science museum allows for arts and science to be explored and understood as one. In April 2008, the museum received a share of a $500,000 grant to increase its environmental programming.

Famous quotes containing the words creative, kids and/or museum:
“Perchance the time will come when every house even will have not only its sleeping-rooms, and dining-room, and talking-room or parlor, but its thinking-room also, and the architects will put it into their plans. Let it be furnished and ornamented with whatever conduces to serious and creative thought. I should not object to the holy water, or any other simple symbol, if it were consecrated by the imagination of the worshipers.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing up is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing.”
—Phyllis Diller (20th century)
“A fallen tree does not rise again.”
—Hawaiian saying no. 2412, ‘lelo No’Eau, collected, translated, and annotated by Mary Kawena Pukui, Bishop Museum Press, Hawaii (1983)
