Children's Museum of Los Angeles

The Children's Museum of Los Angeles was a museum specifically catered to children whose purpose is to educate, entertain and enrich children's lives in the greater Los Angeles area. It was modeled from the children's museums in Boston, Indianapolis and Brooklyn. It opened to the public on June 11, 1979, and was located for 21 years at the Civic Center of Los Angeles.
The museum featured a city street (with cars and motorcycles) with a sewer system that could be crawled through, Grandma's attic with wearable costumes, a large Lego play area, Sticky City consisting of large stuffed fabric blocks with velcro that stuck to each other and could be used for building, a TV studio where children could be camera operators or news anchors, a large photosensitive wall that would imprint shadows when the strobe light went off, a workshop where visitors could make their own Zoetrope animations, and other activities.
==Closing and bankruptcy==
Due to the need for space and access the museum's Board of Governors decided to close the museum on August 27, 2000, with the intention of creating two new facilities: one in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles, and another at the San Fernando Valley's Hansen Dam.〔 The Little Tokyo facility was indefinitely postponed in October 2002,〔 and while construction of the Hansen Dam facility was begun with bond money in October 2005,〔 the non-profit running the museum was unable to raise sufficient funds to populate the interior.〔
The museum filed for bankruptcy on April 17, 2009, after investor Bruce Friedman had his assets frozen by a judge at the request of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in March 2009, having accusing him of stealing $17 million from investors. His donation of $10 million was subsequently withdrawn. The museum needed a further $22 million to for construction to be completed. The city of Los Angeles had also invested over $10 million.〔〔〔
