Meet the Museum Shows

'Meet the Museum' gives your students a chance to attend a Discovery Theater program in another Smithsonian museum OR meet and learn about another Smithsonian unit on the Mall. Performances will still be approximately 45 minutes but we encourage groups to make time before or after the show to explore the museum or exhibit that coincides with the performance.
