Thanks very much to everyone who posted -- or e-mailed -- information about children's museums (or about exhibits for children which relate to health or similar topics). I am a member of a design team charged to develop a fairly large permanent exhibit devoted to children's health. The other members of the team are three architects (Eric Epstein of Epstein Design, P. Barry Svigals of Svigals Associates, and Tom Luckey), all of whom have considerable experience with design projects which relate to children; I am a pediatrician with a background in "hard" science and in child development, but with no design experience. The four of us have lots of ideas, but would hate to duplicate work which has already been done and would like to learn about exhibition projects which have been unusually successful -- fun, beautiful, educational -- so we can draw practical lessons from them (and perhaps so we can justify wonderful field trips). The information you provided is of great help.
