About the Children's Museum
Since 1981, the Children's Museum, a 501 (c)3 nonprofit, has offered engaging programs, exhibits, and services that integrate early childhood development, parent education, and literacy. As the first cultural experience for many young visitors, CMoR fosters a love of learning through innovative activities that enhance the educational efforts of schools, childcare centers, and families. Over the years, millions of children, ages 0-8, and their families from Richmond and across Virginia have engaged with interactive experiences that spark curiosity in art, science, and the humanities.
Throughout the year, CMoR hosts events that celebrate the diversity of the Richmond community, honor cultural traditions, and support school readiness. The Museum is deeply committed to accessibility, ensuring that children from low-income households and those with disabilities have enriching opportunities to learn through play. As a not-for-profit organization, CMoR remains dedicated to removing financial barriers, making its Downtown Richmond and Chesterfield locations welcoming spaces for all families.
