sparking curiosity about the
natural world
Concerned about the lack of opportunity in our densely urban environment for families to explore nature, The Children’s Discovery Museum of San Jose is building a new nature play space that will help inspire the South Bay’s diverse children and their families to love natural places. Bill’s Backyard will be a 27,500 square foot outdoor addition to the very popular Children’s Museum, and will provide a bridge to nature where children can explore and learn that their actions make a difference in the natural world.
L Studio worked with museum leaders to create an identity for this new outdoor learning environment and to develop a campaign package to help raise the funds needed to complete the construction of Bill’s Backyard.
