Virtual Field Trips
Learners who can’t visit the museum in person are invited to join us for a virtual field trip. Have fun and learn something new while exploring different areas of the museum from your own home or classroom. Each activity is connected to education standards and includes a quiz or worksheet so you can see what you’ve learned.
If you have any questions, please contact the Curator of Learning and Engagement at educationnsmlv@nevadaculture.org.
