Board a plane and 'fly' over Peru to learn more about the amazing South American country.

The world's largest children's museum is putting an emphasis on Latino Community Initiatives, a cultural exhibit that takes visitors to Peru and Fiesta de la Familia, a FREE visitation day. It is all about Hispanic Heritage month and ways we can pay tribute to the growing Latino community throughout Indiana and the country.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Children's Museum of Indianapolis is kicking off Hispanic Heritage Month at its annual Fiesta de la Familia event in a big way, with two announcements which will deepen its commitment and partnership with the Latino community.

The first announcement is the unveiling of Peru, a South American country, as the next destination for the museum's iconic Take Me There® exhibit, which features changing countries and cultures. The opening of Take Me There®: Peru is more than just an exhibit—it is a gateway to discovery, creativity, and cultural immersion. From the vibrant streets of Lima to the serene heights of the Andes and the lush expanse of the Amazon, every moment offers a new adventure for families to share. The exhibit will give families the opportunity to explore the similarities and differences between our cultures to foster awareness, acceptance, and respect for people from other societies and traditions. So, pack your imagination and curiosity, and join the museum July 12, 2025, where Peru's rich heritage and natural wonders await.

It is important for us to listen to our neighbors to better understand what is important to them so we can create authentic experiences that speak to their families and their culture.

Accompanying this new exhibit, the museum is excited to announce the Latino Community Initiative, a long-term commitment focused on three pillars—experiences, resources and staffing—that will celebrate and serve the nation's quickly growing Latino community. As part of the new initiative, The Children's Museum is building a team of advisors from the community to listen, research and discover the needs and desires of the Latino community to define how the initiative will take shape.

"The work we have done so far has led us to these areas of focus, but we have so much more to learn. It is important for us to listen to our neighbors to better understand what is important to them so we can create authentic experiences that speak to their families and their culture," said Monica Ramsey, vice president of experience development, The Children's Museum.

Indiana's Latino population has grown by 250% since 2000 and nationally Latinos are on track to make up 30% of the population by 2050. Spanish is the second most spoken language in the United States. Spanish resources, Spanish-speaking staff, and relevant experiences developed in partnership with local and global Latino communities are all ways the museum intends to support the community.

"The Children's Museum's dedication to creating this exhibit celebrating Peru reflects an important recognition of Indiana's changing demographics," said Marlene Dotson, president and CEO, Indiana Latino Institute. "As Latino communities continue to grow and thrive across our state, cultural understanding becomes ever more vital and I am profoundly grateful for the museum's commitment to this cause. As someone who journeyed from the Peruvian highlands to the Hoosier heartland, I am touched by their efforts to bridge culture and foster an understanding and appreciation for Latino communities."

"We know that regular visits to The Children's Museum can inspire children to realize their potential in the world and we look forward to working alongside the community through this new initiative. Our goals are to create new ways to ensure all feel welcome and that we offer dynamic, relevant experiences that are reflective of our vibrant Latino community." said Jennifer Pace Robinson. President and CEO, The Children's Museum of Indianapolis.

Take Me There®: Peru at The Children's Museum of Indianapolis marks the beginning of a new era of diverse storytelling, paving the way for innovative cultural exploration as the museum embarks on its second century.
