Eureka! The National Children's Museum is an interactive educational museum for children in Halifax, West Yorkshire, England, with a focus on learning through play. It is run as an educational charity and not-for-profit organisation. Eureka! is based on the North American model of children's museums, aimed at families with children aged 0–11 and encourages hands-on inter-generational learning. The Museum for Children was formally constituted as a registered charity in 1985 by Vivien Duffield who was inspired to create the museum after visiting a children's museum in Boston in the United States. 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. It is located on former British Rail land next to Halifax railway station. Eureka!'s location was suggested by King Charles III who thought the empty site particularly suitable for the museum and believed that it can serve as a stimulus for the regeneration of Halifax. King Charles III opened the museum on 9 July 1992 when he was Prince of Wales and Duke of Cornwall and was its patron until 2002. More information...
