Hello!
I hope you are well and hanging in there during this crazy time. At the National Constitution Center, we know learning is taking place in a variety of environments, especially virtually, and field trips to museums and other cultural organizations may not be an option for many schools. We are dedicated to continuing to provide you and your students with learning experiences and support, which is why we are launching Virtual Museum Experiences, designed and customized just for your class! Our Virtual Museum Experiences put your students in the driver’s seat and give them a behind the scenes look at our exhibits.
The Center’s NEW Virtual Museum Experience includes signature features of the on-site experience. Highlights include LIVE guided tours of our main exhibit, The Story of We the People; the iconic Signers’ Hall; the Civil War and Reconstruction exhibit, featuring over 100 artifacts; and our newest exhibit, The 19th Amendment: How Women Won the Vote, each followed by a live Q&A so your students can engage directly with our museum educators.
