We set out to build a museum.

A permanent home for curiosity, play, learning, resilience, and connection—created with and for the children of Northern Israel.

Then October 7th showed us that the children could not wait.

When routines stopped, children still needed learning, care, and tools that helped them feel safe, capable, and connected.

Schools and routines were disrupted. Families were displaced. Children were living through instability, uncertainty, and trauma. The permanent museum remained essential. But impact could not wait until construction was complete.

Not after construction. Not after stability. Now.

CMG could not wait to become active in its communities.

So the museum went to the children.

Wonder Wheels brings hands-on STEAM learning, creative resilience programming, and trauma-informed activities directly to children across Northern Israel.

It is how CMG meets children where they are today: in schools, community spaces, and neighborhoods across the North. Wonder Wheels delivers learning, connection, and resilience now while building momentum for the permanent museum to come.

What Wonder Wheels provides.

Wonder Wheels does not replace the permanent museum. It validates and intensifies the need for it.

Demand is visible.

Children participate, educators engage, and communities ask CMG to return.

Distance remains real.

Northern families still lack regular access to a dedicated children’s museum of this kind.

Play produces serious outcomes.

Hands-on activity builds confidence, connection, problem-solving, and emotional regulation.

A permanent anchor grows more urgent.

A mobile unit reaches communities. A permanent home offers a stable, year-round place to return and belong.

The Children’s Museum of the Galilee is not a luxury amenity. It is critical infrastructure.

Listen to what stayed with them.

The voices of parents, children, and educators across Northern Israel who took part in Wonder Wheels.

Break the cycle.

Recovery cannot mean waiting for the next crisis.

Through curiosity, play, collaboration, learning, and resilience, children can become active participants in shaping the future of the North.

The old

The destination was always the museum.

A permanent place to learn, recover, belong, and build—bringing world-class interactive learning, creative exploration, social-emotional development, and trauma-informed design to the North.

World of Water

An outdoor environment where flow, buoyancy, ecology, and play meet.

We are not waiting for the future. We are building it.

A stronger North is built by children who are encouraged to question, imagine, collaborate, recover, and create.
