Illuminating
the Northside for the past 10 years, Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh’s
Lantern Building - the structure that connects the Old Post Office
building and
neighboring Buhl Planetarium - literally and figuratively is the
inspiration for celebration of our expansion’s 10th
anniversary,” stated Bill Schlageter, the Children’s Museum’s Director
of Marketing. “Youth performances, our family resource fair,
the collaborative lantern making and other activities will not only
celebrate the warm glow of the lantern building, but more importantly,
provide experiences for families that spotlight the light within us
all.”
