Museum of New Mexico Foundation (Museum of Indian Arts and Culture)

The Museum of Indian Arts and Culture will launch a large-scale mobile outreach program that will travel to public schools, libraries, and tribal communities throughout rural New Mexico. In partnership with state and local organizations, the museum will contract and train mobile museum interpreters; fabricate the modular exhibit; produce and disseminate pre-visit teacher materials; and design and perform impact surveys to measure and assess the project's educational outcomes. The mobile museum will engage up to 10,000 K-8 students annually, in all the state's 33 counties, in the arts, culture, history and science of the indigenous tribes of New Mexico. The project will prioritize elementary schools that are the lowest academic performers and those in remote and rural communities that have little or no access to museums.
