HR 235 United States House · 119th Congress

National Museum of Play Recognition Act

HR 235 designates the Margaret Woodbury Strong Museum in Rochester, New York, as the National Museum of Play, recognizing it as the only museum exclusively focused on how play encourages learning, creativity, and cultural understanding. The bill explicitly states this recognition does not make the museum part of the National Park System or require any federal funding for the museum. This designation directly affects the Strong Museum by formally naming it the National Museum of Play, without altering its operational status or funding obligations.
