Mochimu to you!
While MoChiMu takes a little nap this fall, we're hopping, skipping, and chalking our way across town — and YOU'RE invited to join the fun!
Introducing our Community Chalk Art — a hopscotch-inspired installation popping up at local spots to keep the play going while the Modesto Children’s Museum is temporarily closed.
Follow the trail of coorl and creativity, and see how we’re bringing the MoChiMu to your neighborhood!
Big thanks to all the awesome businesses helping us spread joy and jump into play!

Go on a DOMO MURALS SCAVENGER HUNT!
Every autumn, the Modesto Artists Movement recruits artists from around the region to turn “DoMo” (Downtown Modesto) into a citywide canvas for muralists as part of the DoMo Walls initiative! In 2023, the back of the museum was transformed into a colorful mix of rainbows and insects!
Use the map below to take a “scavenger hunt” around downtown to find building-high murals of sunflowers, primates, cats, Star Wars heroes and villains, and more!
