Our World, the main indoor exhibition at the National Children's Museum, helps children develop a life-long curiosity about the world and cultures that surround them.

Designed primarily for children ages 3 to 8, the exhibit introduces visitors to the responsibilities and rewards of both global and community citizenship through three key areas: Map Zone, My Town and World Cultures. Children are encouraged to think about the similarities and differences among our global societies, and explore the various roles they may play in their communities, such as family member, friend, neighbor, student, team member and citizen.

Within the Map Zone's "Pack Your Bag" exhibit, an airport luggage carousel introduces visitors to the different reasons people travel and demonstrates that what people pack is determined by the type of environment they will visit.
