Chico's history comes alive at the Chico Museum!
Housed in a former Carnegie Library building in downtown Chico, the Chico
Museum has hosted more than 90 exhibits celebrating the distinct heritage
of Chico since it opened in February 1986.
Exhibits
Exhibits change several times a year and include prestigious traveling exhibits as well as those created by the Museum focusing on local Chico and Butte County history.
The Museum's two main galleries feature changing exhibits focusing on aspects of Chico's past and present. Two smaller galleries house a permanent Chico Timeline 1830 - 2000 filled with photos, portraits, and artifacts evoking Chico's diverse history and Chico's Chinese Taoist Temple which features altars and original artifacts from this temple used by Chico's Chinese residents from 1890 - 1939.
In a special agreement with the Far West Heritage Association, The Janet Turner Print Museum presents at the Chico Museum this year. Don't miss this opportunity for an expanded look at this collection of 3,000 prints from over 40 countries spanning six centuries.
