“Inspiration of Light and Color” implies a place of fun and happiness exploring the interplay of space, play, time and observation. Maney created these ideas with this in mind. The possibilities of this interplay are endless and up to children's vast imagination. Bright color archways, bold happy color and fun playful dots all intertwine in this mural. The composition of forms are created in a way to draw people who are driving by the museum as well as be a fun playful way for people to landmark the museum from down the street.

Three towering, larger-than-life pinwheels stand proudly in front of the museum! Guests of all ages can bring them to life with a simple turn of a lightweight hand-held wheel—easy enough for even little hands to spin. As night falls, the magic continues, with each pinwheel lighting up thanks to a solar charger at the top.
