The EVERBRIGHT
Exhibit Expansion Fundraising Continues
Everbright, first of its kind Children's Museum in Michigan
Hip, Hip, Hooray! The Everbright has been installed!We are super excited to be adding this totally cool Exhibit to the CMBC!
The picture to the right is of an Everbright, which is similar to a large lite-Brite except it has no removeable parts. The Everbright has disks that can be turned to create over 250 different colors which allows visitors to create any picture imaginable.
The CMBC is the first children's museum in Southwest Michigan to have an Everbright.
Future Exhibits include a Rig A Ma Jig exhibit, a Space Capsule, a Static Dome, Coldwater community play buildings, and improvements to current exhibits.
