Welcome to the Gallery Plus Blog!

While the museum galleries are currently closed, we wanted to highlight the programs, events, and activities which help our visitors engage with the museum's exhibitions. We will share information about our Teacher Resources which help facilitate K-12 education. You will learn how museum educators use our collections to promote life-long learning. We will highlight the work of our dedicated team of volunteer Docents and Junior Interpreters. And provide special activities which you can do from home providing access to the museum's exhibitions and collections.

Wishing you and your family good health during this difficult time. We hope to see you soon when the museum re-opens!

Sincerely,

Patrick Stenshorn
Director of Interpretive Programs
