Implementation of a fourth story, Malala’s World, within the existing permanent exhibition The Power of Children: Making a Difference. 

The Children's Museum of Indianapolis (Museum) proposes the addition of “Malala’s World” to expand the permanent exhibit entitled The Power of Children: Making A Difference. Through this project, the Museum will build upon its groundbreaking and successful permanent exhibit by adding the inspirational story of Malala Yousafzai, a young girl from Pakistan who advocated for and continues to support education and equality under the threat of the Taliban. In 2014, Malala was awarded the Nobel Prize for her advocacy efforts. Since opening in 2007, over 3.5 million children and their families and 250,000 students have visited The Power of Children: Making A Difference exhibit. Additionally, 67,578 have visited the traveling version in locations across the United States.

Author: Sharon McDonnell
Abstract: Inside the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, the world’s biggest (and often named best) museum for children, is an attention-grabbing exhibit with an even more lasting impact: a display devoted to four children who changed the world. The newest honoree, Malala Yousafzai, was just a teenager in 2012 when she was shot in the head by the Taliban due to her outspoken support of education for girls in Pakistan. The Malala-focused exhibit, which opened on September 18, joins others about Anne Frank; Ruby Bridges, one of the first Black children to integrate New Orleans public schools; and Ryan White, the Indiana teenager who battled prejudice after contracting AIDS from a blood transfusion.
