Mr. Rogers’ neighborhood just got a bit bigger -- and a lot more fun.
Anyone who ever wanted to don a cardigan and sneakers, watch Picture Picture or take a trolley to the Neighborhood of Make-Believe now has a chance in an expanded and more playful exhibit honoring children’s most trusted friend at the revamped Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh.
The Mr. Rogers exhibit is a main attraction at the museum, which reopens Saturday after a two-month, $28-million expansion that quadrupled its size to more than 80,000 square feet.
Fred Rogers died in 2003 but is still present. From a television set hanging above the entrance, he appears on tape -- wearing his signature cardigan -- welcoming visitors to the neighborhood and setting the tone for the exhibit, describing it as a place to “think about, talk about or play about all kinds of things.”
The previous Mr. Rogers exhibit was only King Friday’s Castle in the Neighborhood of Make-Believe.
