Museum on Main Street
A rural outreach project of the Smithsonian Institutions Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES)
Museum
on Main Street (MoMS) is a partnership between the Smithsonian Institution
and the state humanities councils. Through
this partnership, MHC sponsors a Smithsonian traveling exhibition and helps
Missouri institutions develop public programs to accompany these exhibits.
This innovative project brings rural Missouri one-of-a-kind access to prestigious
Smithsonian exhibitions and opens the door to activities that involve people
of all ages in the community.
Past tours include Barn Again! in 1998, Yesterday’s
Tomorrows in 2001, Produce for Victory in 2003, Key Ingredients in
2005 & 2006, and Between Fences in late 2006 through mid-2007.
Next up is the phenomenally popular New Harmonies in 2009 and 2010. We will also host Journey Stories in 2010.
