Lexington’s Explorium Children’s Museum has been a downtown fixture for more than 30 years. Budget constraints followed by a pandemic led to a difficult period for the downtown facility. Colby Ernest has been the director for about a year. He updated City Council Committee members last week. Ernest says there have been a number of renovations to existing galleries and exhibits.
“Our sketch pad for example. We did a pretty big renovation in that space to allow a much better environment for an open art studio for children. We put a lot of time and money into our bubble room, which is very popular,” said Ernest.
