Museum Association of New York

The Museum Association of New York, in partnership with the New York Library Association and Museumwise, will explore the feasibility of developing and sustaining a model statewide program in which history museums and libraries collaboratively create traveling exhibits and related programming aimed specifically at young learners and their families. The project will convene museum and library representatives across the state in learning labs and at conferences to 1) determine the interest in and the feasibility of creating and sustaining traveling history exhibits and related programming for young children; 2) address the potential challenges of a project of this scope; 3) develop a range of possible interpretive and programmatic themes for exhibits and related programming; and 4) identify potential history museum and library partners.
