LONG ISLAND
CHILDREN’S MUSEUM
OPENS DREAM EXHIBIT!
“Night Journey’s” Explores Sleep, Dreams and Bedtime
Rituals Around the World
Bedtime
preparation provides the transition between
the busy social activities of day and the
solitary, sometimes scary experience of
nighttime and sleep. For many families,
bedtime is marked by comforting and peaceful
experiences, as well as fears and
frustrations. Night Journey’s: An Adventure in the World of Sleep and
Dreams at the Long Island Children’s Museum takes families on a fascinating
journey through the world of bedtime rituals
and routines and into the nighttime
experience of sleep and dreams. Combining
hands-on activities, collection objects,
working models, displays and animated video,
the bi-lingual exhibition helps young
visitors and their families improve their
understanding of the sleep experience.
Night Journey’s
opens at LICM on Friday,
June 11 and runs through September 12.
“Summer is the perfect time to bring
Night Journey’s to LICM,” said Executive Director Suzanne
LeBlanc.
“Sleep routines that families have
established during the year can change
drastically at this time of year as bedtimes
become more relaxed and upcoming camp and
vacation plans provide plenty of dream or
nightmare material. The exhibit theme will
resonate deeply with parents and children
alike.”
Families
visiting Night Journey’s
enter a whimsical bedroom setting where
they are introduced to sleeping places from
many parts of the world. Children can lie
down on an ancient Egyptian bed or try out a
headrest from Japan or Somalia. They can
carry dolls in a Mexican rebozo or a
Native American cradleboard. Children can
peek into miniatures of unusual sleeping
places and explore bedtime security and
comfort by putting dolls to sleep with
stories and lullabies from around the world.
A fantastic
giant bed serves as the centerpiece in this
area, offering kids the opportunity to
examine protective sleep charms used around
the world and take on one of the most common
bedtime fears. As they shine a giant
flashlight under the bed, they will turn a
“frightening
monster” into an ordinary pile of socks and
toys. Hands-on activities, cross-cultural
comparisons and imaginary play provide
children and parents with the opportunity to
examine the role bedtime rituals and
routines play in their lives and compare
them with families around the world.
Families continue their journey into the
world of sleep and dreams as they pass under an
arch of clouds and stars and past sleeping and
dreaming animals. Here, visitors explore the
“active” state of sleep in an animated video that
shows eye movement, body movement and brain
activity during sleep. A nearby station
compiles the dreams of adults and kids; allowing
family members to compare dreams they’ve had against others.
Finally, the exhibit explores different
approaches to dream interpretation by people
around the world. In a series of interactive
exhibits families will be able to share a dream
over breakfast in the tradition of the Senoi
people of Malaysia, turn a scroll to learn about
dream books used in China, and feed a bad dream
to Baku, the Japanese dream eater. As they
leave the gallery, visitors can meet some famous
“dreamers” like Frankenstein’s
author Mary Shelley,
whose dreams have changed our world.
Text in English and Spanish is written in a
conversational style to spark interaction
between children and adults. While learning an
interesting array of scientific and cultural
facts about sleep, children and parents can
improve their understanding of the sleep
experience. Information written for parents
about sleep includes tips for talking to
children about sleep-related problems.
Long Island Children’s Museum has planned a
variety of themed workshops and performances to
complement the key themes and content areas of
Night Journeys. Among the special
Night Journeys programming planned for
visitors are performances by the Dance Visions
company of “Dreamscape,” a dance/theater piece
offering glimpses into the world of dreams. The
contemporary dance company will perform on
Saturday, July 21, Tuesday, July 27, Wednesday,
July 28 and Tuesday, Aug. 3 at 1:30 p.m. in the
LICM Theater. Children will have the chance to
listen to capture their dream images for keeps
on a painted pillowcase in our Sweet Dreams
workshop. The program is offered every
weekday afternoon (July 1-August 31) from 1-4
p.m. Visitors are invited to learn how great
artists depicted scenes of night and darkness on
Thursday, July 22 at LICM’s Into the Night
workshop.
LICM saves the best for last, when it hosts
Pajamarama on Thursday, August 26 from
noon- 4p.m. Kids are invited to join in an end
of the summer pajama party where they’ll meet
some favorite bedtime storybook characters,
create fun crafts and participate in a variety
of activities celebrating sleep and dreams.
(View the LICM events calendar at
www.licm.org for additional Night Journeys
programs.)
Night Journey’s
provides an environment
in which young people’s most
comforting bedtime habits, persistent nighttime
fears and compelling curiosities about sleep and
dreams can be explored in a humorous, supportive
way.
The traveling exhibition was developed by
The Brooklyn Children’s Museum for the Minnesota Children’s Museum and the Youth Museum Exhibit
Collaborative (YMEC). The exhibition was funded
by YMEC with additional support provided by the
Spunk Fund, Inc.
All activities will be held at the Long

Into the Night
Thursday, July 22 at 1 p.m.
Human beings have been diurnal
animals for millions of years—we
are active during the day and we
sleep and dream at night. Our
relationship with night and darkness
has led to a variety of cultural
superstitions surrounding them, and
intriguing depictions in art,
poetry, and music all across the
world. We’re celebrate our summer
exhibit, Night Journeys, by
exploring the mysteries of the night
through nocturne paintings,
ones that portray night scenes. Be
inspired by nocturnes painted
by world-renowned artists, and
produce your own to guide you
through your own night journey!
Age: 7 and up. Fee: $3 with museum
admission ($2 LICM members)

possible. Together we’ll take an
interactive trip through the world
of simple machines using radio,
film, television, theater and the
internet.

Night Journeys: An Adventure in the
World of Sleep and Dreams
Through September 12
Take a fascinating journey through
the world of bedtime rituals and
routines and into the nighttime
experience of sleep and dreams.
Visitors enter into a whimsical
bedroom setting where they are
introduced to sleeping places from
many parts of the world. Lie down on
an ancient Egyptian bed, try out a
headrest from Japan or Somalia or
carry dolls using a Mexican
rebozo. Peek into unusual
sleeping places, shine giant
flashlights under the bed to scare
away the monsters and explore
bedtime rituals from around the
world.
Visitors continue their journey into
the world of sleep and dreams by
exploring the “active” state of
sleep in an animated video that
shows eye movement, body movement
and brain activity during sleep.
Next, compare some of your dreams to
those of both children and adults
and see what they mean. Explore
different approaches to dream
interpretation by people around the
world. Learn about dream books from
China, feed a bad dream to Baku—the
Japanese dream eater and see how a
family in Malaysia share their
dreams over breakfast.
All Ages. Free with museum
admission.
This traveling exhibit was developed
by The Brooklyn Children’s Museum
for the Minnesota Children’s Museum
and The Youth Museum Exhibit
Collaborative (YMEC). The exhibition
