Construction started in January 2021 on El Paso’s newest wonder, the El Paso children’s museum and science center. The El Paso Community Foundation is partnering with the City of El Paso and other stakeholders on the $70 million project, which is transforming a dusty lot on the corner of Santa Fe and Main streets into a world class, one-of-a-kind museum and science center for kids of all ages and sizes. The awe-inspiring four-story structure, designed by the New York office of Norway’s Snøhetta, was inspired by the boundless blue sky and borderless clouds that are part of the borderland’s majestic appeal. The innovative design was unveiled last fall, shortly before the reveal of the museum’s unique exhibitions, designed by Gyroscope, Inc. of California as A view from the foot of the Woody and Gayle Hunt Family Foundation Anything’s Possible Climber. a series of 10 themed zones that encourage interactive exploration of water, sound, wind epcmuseum.org, and social media platforms. spark discovery.
