Hi Kathy.

I am not quite sure of what type of museum you are talking at when you say
"Interactive" but here are a few examples of possibly converting schools to
Interactive Children's Museums. You might want to research the AYM website
at (http://www.childrensmuseums.org/about/facts.htm) to see other types of
civic buildings being converted into Children's Museums.

We recently did a rendering of a 100 year old elementary school in
Massachusetts to possibly be converted into a Children's Museum. It can be
seen at:

A few years ago we looked at converting another school for the Habitot
Children's Museum in Berkeley California. It can be viewed at:

Good Luck on your quest.

> Hi All
>Our city has offered to lease us an old school building that we can use to

the property to us

of money on a building that looks like an old school. They asked me to see
if I can find

museum. Does anyone have any examples that I can research online?
