Join the Museum in a family-oriented event celebrating this unique, hands-on traveling exhibit. Explore the diversity of world cultures as experienced by the eleven children who appear and interact with visitors through “Children Just Like Me.” Visit each exhibit environment to get a child’s-eye-view of life: near the coast in Western Australia; in the mountains of North Vietnam; in rural Tsaluu, Mongolia; in the state of Tamil Nadu at the southern tip of India; in the savanna of Tanzania; in the city of Cairo, Egypt; in a suburb of Moscow, Russia; on a farm near Warsaw, Poland; in an Amazonian rainforest in Brazil; near the town of Cancún in Mexico; and on Baffin Island in the Arctic Ocean. Listen to folktales from the countries and cultures represented and enjoy crafts for all ages.
