Children's Museum of the Arts maintains a permanent collection of over two thousand paintings and drawings of children’s art from around the world including China, Pakistan, Argentina, Norway, Australia, Indonesia, Senegal and Russia. Included within this collection are 19 rare and exciting works done by children during the 1938 Works Progress Administration (WPA) Children's Art Project under President Roosevelt. Seen through the expressive viewpoint only children can create, these works are a unique view into New York City’s style, architecture and landmarks of the 1930’s.
