I know the Plains Art Museum in Fargo, ND has a trailer they use to take
exhibits to rural areas.  They call it the Rolling Plains Art Museum.

> Mexico's Van of Enchantment, and the Connecticut Audubon Society's
> Rolling Nature Center.

> If you are aware of other mobile museum programs, please contact me
