Good afternoon,
I am developing a "Mobile Museum" for Southeast Missouri State
University Museum. The University's administration is interested in
a large walk-through vehicle - such as a mobile home or truck with
trailer - that will contain exhibits of some sort. The Museum has
archaeology, fine art, and history collections, so the exhibitions
may vary. At this stage, I am hoping to find out what other museums
run or have run mobile programs like this in the past. I would like
to find out information about the type of vehicle used, the target
audience, the planning of programs, etc. I am aware of three such
programs: the Arkansas Art Center's Artmobile, the Museum of New
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
and let me know. I would like to get the name of the museum or
interpretive center that runs it. Or, if you work directly with such
a program, I would appreciate any comments that you can offer on your
experience.
Thank you.
