Created by the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh, the exhibit integrates technology and interactive play alongside use of facial expressions, words, movement and art to explore what love and forgiveness mean to you and others.
The Kansas Children’s Discovery Center is a hands-on children’s museum where children can explore, create, discover and learn through play.
