What does it take to create and run a museum? Young historians (entering 4th through 6th grade) will explore the roles of curators, conservators and exhibit designers with the unique experience offered through the Junior Curator Day Camp. Students will investigate historic artifacts, explore the museum’s collection vault and learn about Iowa’s exciting history with museum staff. Students also will design and arrange their own themed exhibit featuring objects from the State Historical Museum’s collection.

Registration for this program is now open.
