Eureka! (museum)

The National Children's Museum is an interactive educational museum for children in Halifax, West Yorkshire, England, with a focus on learning through play.

[1] The museum is intended for children aged up to 12 with accompanying adults, and it was established with £9 million funding, £7 million of which came from the Clore and Duffield foundations with the rest from grants and private donations.

[1] It is located on former British Rail land next to Halifax railway station.

's location was suggested by Prince Charles who thought the empty site particularly suitable for the museum and believed that it can serve as a stimulus for the regeneration of Halifax.

Design groups included Imagination (the Me and My Body gallery) and Conran (original gift shop) and individuals included Tim Hunkin who created the Archimedes display at the entrance,[4] and Satoshi Kitamura who provide illustration and cartoon signage for the museum.

Eureka! is situated on the now demolished parts of Halifax station seen to the left, the remaining platforms can be seen to the right.
