The Tuxtla Gutiérrez Children’s Museum was conceived with the purpose of creating a project to detonate the social and cultural advance of the children in the capital city of the Chiapas state, in southeastern Mexico. Although Chiapas is one of the states with the biggest cultural offer, it faces many challenges regarding education and economy. In Chiapas 9 out of 10 kids live in extreme poverty conditions so the task of carrying out a Children's Museum turned out to be a great opportunity for the community. However, the State Government supported the project due to a particular feature, the building would be a regional Children's Museum. All its contents, teachings and didactic material would be strictly related to the culture of the state and would open its doors to all child visitors free of charge.
