Cowabunga! The streets of Indianapolis just turned a whole lot greener as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fans painted the town in their signature shade of shell-shock green!
In a heroic act of artistic rebellion, more than a dozen humans in half-shells were spotted wielding spray cans and splattering manhole covers across the city with their vibrant green hue. But why, you ask? Well, it seems these half-shell heroes were gearing up for their grand return to The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, and they were determined to leave their mark - quite literally.
114 cans of spray paint were used to deck out 237 manhole covers throughout Indy. The lead painter was none other than The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis’ Visiting Artist Ess McKee who whipped up quite the artistic creations in six key spots in honor of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The museum received special permission from the City of Indianapolis as part of the city’s Art in the Right of Way program.
In an underground lair that is more vibrant than your average sewer hideout, visitors will be transported to the secret home of these crime-fighting Turtles.
From March 9 to September 2, 2024, families will have the chance to dive into the Nickelodeon™ Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles™: Secrets of the Sewer exhibit, where they will learn the art of teamwork, collaboration, and problem-solving, all under the watchful eye of our green-skinned mentors.
But wait, there is more! This is not just any old sewer tour. Families will discover the hidden depths of the Turtles' subterranean sanctuary, complete with a kitchen for pizza parties, a living room for binge-watching their favorite cartoons and even a dojo for honing their ninja skills. Who knew living in a sewer could be so cool?
Join The Children’s Museum as we celebrate 40 years of Turtle Power, where the lessons are as valuable as the pizza is delicious. Leonardo, the tactical leader in blue; Raphael, the tough guy in red; Donatello, the brains in purple and Michelangelo, the jokester in orange, invite you to join their green revolution at the world’s biggest and best children’s museum. It is an adventure you will not want to miss! Cowabunga, dudes!
Nickelodeon's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles™: Secrets of the Sewer™ is presented by Central Indiana Honda Dealers. The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis is proud to partner with Riley Children’s Health, Old National Bank, Ice Miller LLP and The Heritage Group.
