Journey Stories
Touring Arizona in 2013-2014Museum on Main Street (MoMS)
MoMS is a one-of-a-kind cultural partnership between the Smithsonian Institution, state humanities councils, and rural museums across America. Smithsonian designers have developed an exhibition format tailored to small museums: exhibits are freestanding, contain original objects, and travel in easy-to-handle wheeled crates. Rural museums are able to take advantage of the name recognition of the Smithsonian Institution as well as the programming expertise of AHC, which will facilitate local exhibit development and program planning by providing funding, scholarly consultations, packaged programs, and preparatory workshops, along with materials developed by MoMS.
