    Children’s Museum
    CLOCKWISE FROM TOP: "The Children's Museum has been looking for a new home for a long time," says Children's Museum of Tacoma Executive Director Tanya Andrews, who has been with the museum for 15 years. The museum is in the process of relocating from Broadway to a larger space on Pacific Avenue, and will re-open in January. "I can't remember a time that we weren't dreaming about a new home"; The new museum will include a cafe serving espresso, snacks, and sandwiches; a wood-themed "playscape" exhibit; an orientation room for visitors to meet staff and each other; One of the new playscape exhibits under construction is "Voyager," a hybrid pirate ship / cargo wagon / rocket with giant wings, a wheel house, gauges, signals and communications gear.
