Providence Children’s Museum is part of
Unicorns in Residence: Providence,
an imaginative, interactive art experience taking place across the city
this spring and summer. Designed by New York artist Camomile Hixon and curated by Helene Miller,
the project invites families to join a search for a missing unicorn and
spot the mythical creatures in different forms at
Providence parks, museums, libraries and other cultural organizations.
For its role in
Unicorns in Residence, the Museum hosts several playful components from April 15 - May 15:
- Step into the “PlayPhone” – a life-sized glittered phone booth – to report a sighting to the missing unicorn hotline.
- Examine posters and photographs of the missing unicorn at recognizable locations around the world.
- Listen to recordings shared by others about their enchanted unicorn encounters.
- See two sparkly unicorn figures that are part of a
larger “unicorn stampede,” which was recently on view at Providence
Public Library.

Inspired by the project, the Museum is also offering
accompanying activities exploring mythical creatures. Decorate unicorn horns and dragon scales, draw with unicorn dust, play a unicorn shoe toss game and more in
Discovery Studio most days from April 13 - May 1, and meet the unicorn artist on Friday, April 17 from 5:30 - 7:00 PM; visit our
web calendar for details.
