Strong National Museum of Play is an exciting, hands-on, welcoming place to play, learn, and dream; a place to pretend, wonder, and explore; a place to discover the past and imagine the future; and a place to rekindle memories and make new ones. Strong is the only museum in the world dedicated solely to the study of play as it illuminates American culture. As an independent, 501-c-3, educational organization chartered by the New York State Board of Regents, the museum explores play because it is critical to learning and human development and offers a unique window into American culture. Understanding play helps people know who they are and what they value.

Some people call Strong a children’s museum; others call it a history museum. In fact, it blends the best features of both–high interactivity and extensive collections–to serve a diverse audience of children, families, adults, students, educators, scholars, and collectors. To these and other users, the museum offers engaging exhibit experiences, fun-filled educational programs, exciting guest amenities, annual memberships, standards-based school lessons, teacher development opportunities, an innovative preschool, a circulating library, the Brian Sutton-Smith Library and Archives of Play, scholarly publications such as the American Journal of Play, and more. The museum is also home to the National Toy Hall of Fame® and the International Center for the History of Electronic Games™. |
