Kids Encyclopedia Facts

The Children's Own Museum first opened its doors in 1997. It started as a special temporary show at the Harbourfront Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. From 1998 to 2002, the museum had a home in the building that used to be the McLaughlin Planetarium.

In March 2013, the museum changed its name to the Children's Own Media Museum. It began creating fun and educational materials for schools and cultural places all over Ontario. The museum is currently led by its Director, Che Marville, and a scholar named Dr. Robert Logan.

As of August 2025, the museum does not have a permanent building. However, it still offers many exciting workshops and programs. For example, it ran family programs at Harbourfront in 2012 and 2013. It also had a program at the famous CN Tower in 2009.

In 2011, there was talk about a new idea called the Children's Mobile Media Museum. This project was planned to be a team-up between the Children's Own Museum and the McLuhan Legacy Network. This network helps share the ideas of a famous Canadian thinker, Marshall McLuhan.
