While MOTA Day is not taking place in 2020, there ARE virtual events/activities happening at some of our partner museums. We encourage you to visit and bookmark pages for all MOTA museums as well as follow them on social media, especially Facebook and Instagram, to keep up-to-date on upcoming remote events.  

Additionally, many of our MOTA partners are nonprofit museums that are experiencing a tremendous loss of income from closing their doors because of the COVID-19 crisis. We hope you consider supporting them. For 31 years, our MOTA museums have generously opened their doors free of charge to the public on MOTA Day. Consider a financial donation, a membership purchase or a visit to one of their online stores. Your support matters.

Thank you. Stay safe everyone!

We know it’s exciting — six museums! Free admission! Fun!

But we strongly encourage visitors to only plan to tour three maybe four museums on MOTA Day. Spend time and enjoy. Don’t rush. Don’t miss your shuttle back to your car.

Remember, MOTA Day is noon – 4pm.

MOTA Day offers so many sights to see…and you can always come back next year to check out museums you didn’t see this year!

Mark your calendars for Museums of the Arroyo Day 2020 – Sunday, May 17.

From noon – 4 pm , you can explore all the MOTA museums for free with free shuttles connecting all.

Stay tuned for more details!
