Monkey King
Monkey King: A Journey To China was produced by Children's
Museum of Manhattan. Stepping into the story, a dramatically
designed 1,500 square foot environment, visitors are surrounded
with sounds and sights of China. Playful activities, at a
dozen imagination-powered stations, reveal Chinese cultural
values while engaging visitors in the story’s action.

Where
is Monkey King now?
Monkey King is part of the Freeman Foundation Asian Exhibit
Initiative (AEI), the largest grant awarded to ACM and the
children's museums field. Monkey King is one of seven traveling
exhibits in the AEI, which is designed to promote a better
understanding of Asian cultures. Learn
more about AEI.
 The
Freeman Foundation believes that children's museums best convey
cultural information to children by providing hands-on exhibits
and programs that stimulate curiosity and motivate learning.
Children's museums represent a powerful and fun way to reach
America's children and their families and teach them about
the culture, history and traditions of Asia. With this initiative,
we are building bridges of understanding that will last a
lifetime.

Foundation Chairman
