Papalote Museo del Niño, Children's museum in Cuernavaca, Mexico
Papalote Museo del Niño is a children's museum in Cuernavaca with three floors and interactive exhibits focused on science, art, and technology. The spaces are organized by age groups and encourage learning through hands-on activities and play-based exploration.
The museum was founded in 2008 with backing from Costco México, which provided both the property and ongoing financial support. This sponsorship enabled the creation and continued management of the institution.
The museum features artworks from international artists, including a giant piano installation by Remo Saraceni. These pieces create playful spaces where children experience and engage with art directly.
The museum is located in Cuernavaca and is open several days per week during regular hours. Visitors should plan enough time to explore the different floors and participate in the interactive activities throughout the space.
The museum features the Pollock Table, an interactive digital art installation where visitors can transform their movements into colorful patterns. This installation demonstrates how technology can make creativity and artistic expression tangible for children.
