This is the nonprofit legal entity behind the Children's Museum of Manhattan, which is relocating from its longtime home at 212 West 83rd Street into the landmarked former First Church of Christ, Scientist at 96th Street and Central Park West, an 80,000-square-foot building CMOM bought in 2017, with an opening targeted for 2028 as part of a $300 million capital campaign. It filed 15 lobbying registrations from 2024 through 2026 through Bender Cantone Consulting, Inc., for $184,000 in compensation, lobbying council members Julie Menin and Justin Brannan on a real-property determination tied to the new museum home and lobbying the state on budget funding for the museum.
