Miami Children's Museum

This guide to the Miami Children's Museum follows the inventor Remo Saraceni, who built his career on toys that respond to a human body, from a giant walking piano at F. A. O. Schwarz in 1982 to the dancing scene in the movie Big six years later. It traces how one of his musical staircases ended up in this Watson Island building, and the museum's own twenty-year journey from a cramped 1983 storefront as the Miami Youth Museum to a permanent home shaped around earth, wind, water, and fire.
