The National Museum of the Pacific War, the only institution in the continental U.S. exclusively dedicated to telling the story of World War II in the Pacific, has been selected by the world’s largest museum and research institution as a Smithsonian Affiliate. The goal of the Smithsonian Affiliate program is to develop long-term partnerships with other museums and educational organizations in the hopes of making the Smithsonian’s vast collections and resources widely available.
The Fort Worth Children s Partnership will also begin its spring semester in a virtual format.
The museum is also offering ongoing learning opportunities through the spring for schools and families, including virtual field trips, virtual science and history nights, virtual discovery lab online groups, discovery kits, and teen video creation programs.
New attractions and opportunities in January will include the Everybody Grows leadership network program, virtual member monthly events, and Preschool Family STEAM Club on Tuesdays.
In February, Museum School registration opens for Summer 2021 and Fall/Spring 2021-2022. Little Scholars Program registration opens for Spring and Summer tutoring sessions as well.
