TCMU Update Following Hurricane Helene

Follow Us!

Let’s keep in touch!

As our community continues to recover from the storm’s impact, our thoughts are with you and your families. We send our heartfelt wishes to those in the Southeast who have been deeply affected. We are also incredibly grateful for the tireless efforts of first responders and service providers who continue to support and protect us.

While the road to recovery may be long for some, we want to offer a bit of normalcy and joy to children and families by reopening our doors with adjusted hours and guidelines.

Additional Support for Families

We recognize the challenges many families are facing right now. In addition to reopening our exhibits, we’re providing charging stations at both museum locations for those in need of a place to power up their devices. Feel free to stop by, whether for play or simply to recharge. We kindly ask that your child be supervised at all times.  

For those unable to visit us in person, check out our blog post for fun activities that can bring the magic of TCMU to your living room.

We look forward to welcoming you back into our museum spaces, where imagination and play can bring a sense of joy during difficult times. Stay safe, and see you soon!
