“We look forward to working with Smithsonian Affiliates. It’s a group of like-minded organizations around the nation and we enjoy working together to strengthen the museum community.”
“We see it as an opportunity to serve our community by bringing the Smithsonian to them. It’s about sharing things that they’d normally not get to see – things that are relevant to them and relate to the region where they live.”
“We don’t have brick and mortar displays but what we do have is an amazing collection of the best minds in the world coming to us – to our tiny valley and 11 rural schools because of the affiliation.”
