"It is said that children are people. But, people do not exist without a culture. Children are people who belong to the future. And they have a right to their own culture, their own art and history". Those are the words of Rafael Goldin (1920 - 1994), film director and founder of the International Museum of Children's Art, OsloLocated in a quaint old house in the residential neighborhood Slemdal, the International Museum of Children's Art is the world's first full scale museum of its kind.
