If you are planning a trip to the Koch Family Children's Museum of Evansville, commonly referred to as cMoe, you'll need to postpone those plans for just a few more days. The Children's Museum is closed this week (September 12-16) in order to get some serious cleaning done.

This kind of shutdown is an annual thing for cMoe - it is something they do every year around this time. This week gives the museum a chance to do some deep cleaning - which is no small task for a building as big as cMoe. They also take this time to do some staff training and any necessary maintenance on exhibits.

During the shutdown, the cMoe staff will be hard at work installing the new Curious George: Let's Get Curious exhibit, which will be ready to go when the museum reopens on September 17th.

  • Sunday & Monday – Closed
