Our Story
The Golisano Children’s Museum of Naples was founded by Allyson Loos after the heartbreaking loss of her daughter, Bianca, to bacterial meningitis. Inspired by a dream where Bianca envisioned a vibrant place for children and families, Ally began fundraising to create a children’s museum in Naples, Florida. Established in 2002 and opened in 2012, CMON aims to provide a dynamic educational space for children and families to play and learn together.
