abstract:The Brooklyn Children's Museum is a general purpose museum in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, New York City. Founded in 1899, it was the first museum in the United States and some believe, the world, to cater specifically to children and is unique in its location, predominantly a residential area.
The funding generally is given to groups that provide services to the poor, the elderly and children, including Citymeals-on-Wheels and the Brooklyn Children's Museum last year.
