National Museum of Play Recognition Act

This bill officially designates the Margaret Woodbury Strong Museum in Rochester, New York, as the National Museum of Play . This congressional recognition highlights the museum's unique mission and contributions to understanding the role of play. Congress specifically acknowledges that the Strong Museum is the only institution of its kind dedicated exclusively to exploring how play encourages learning, creativity, and discovery, while also illuminating cultural history. This formal designation recognizes its significant role in preserving and interpreting the history of play. Importantly, the bill clarifies that this designation does not incorporate the museum into the National Park System, nor does it require or permit the expenditure of federal funds for any purpose related to the museum.
