Imagine U Childrens Museum

 

The success of ImagineU Childrens Museum is the result of a community effort. Its goal is to create a multicultural learning center filled with hands-on scientific, cultural and artistic exhibits for the whole family.

ImagineU Childrens Museum is a member of the Association of Childrens Museums. The museum hosts a variety of interactive events and displays, many of which are free to the public.

Through a grant from the City of Visalias Community Arts Program, ImagineU has developed a series of Traveling Trunks for use by area teachers. They contain lesson plans that incorporate visual, tactile and auditory learning tools. These are age-based materials named the Van Gogh Trunk (art, science and social studies); Yokut Native American Trunk (information, artifacts and art projects); Colonial Folk Art Trunk (quilting, weaving, pottery and more); and the Waste Management Trunk for grades K-12 pertaining to recycling and environmental awareness.
