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.[1] Its location at the science museum allows for arts and science to be explored and understood as one.[2] In April 2008, the museum received a share of a $500,000 grant to increase its environmental programming.[3]
