Bid, Play, Give!
Bid on one-of-a-kind CMoR experiences, family favorites, and more, all while helping more children and families experience the joy of learning through play.
The Children's Museum of Richmond's mission is to inspire growth in all children by engaging families in learning through play. Through Access for All, CMoR works to ensure that cost is never a barrier to the hands-on learning, discovery, and connection that happen every day at the Museum.
Your bids make an impact:
Last year, CMoR provided:
780
Scholarship family memberships
35,110

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.
The Children's Museum operates two locations:
- CMoR Downtown at 2626 W. Broad Street in Richmond
- CMoR Chesterfield at 6629 Lake Harbour Drive in Midlothian
