About

Welcome to the Museum of Visual Materials!

More than a museum, we offer children's activities, crafts nights, classes, and camps, exhibits, gallery space, and event facility rentals, all tucked in a LEED Platinum Certified building.

Our mission is to be a place for people to learn, play, create, and celebrate. Our vision is a place to contribute to a positive and thriving community.

Come be inspired and visit one of the oldest (but greenest) buildings downtown! The museum, art gallery, and kids activities are free to the public. Build a creation at our LEGO station, decorate our Barbie house, build a structure on our Imagination Playground (big blue blocks), or create a masterpiece in our craft area.

Getting married? The Museum is a unique location for your reception or event - and has been voted Local Best for Reception/Event Facility for the past three years.

Check out our calendar for many exciting upcoming events and classes! There is always something going on at the Museum of Visual Materials!
