Museum Without Walls

The Museum Without Walls project is a concept which takes history to a new level. We endeavor to provide resources that convey a history that engages, enlightens, and tells a human story.

The Museum Without Walls brings history resources to schools, teachers, and students. Through a variety of initiatives our Affiliates can work with teachers and students in a collaborative context at varied levels to accomplish and assist in the following:

• Curriculum design and/or enhancement.

• Enrichment resources.

• Student projects. i.e., History Day.

• Specific topics i.e., the POW Experience, and our videohistory of the African American Nurse: " Healing Others: Healing Ourselves."

Tell us your needs. We can make history together!
