Take a fantastic journey around the globe!
Now visiting "From Here to Timbuktu," A Journey to West
Africa!
From Here to Timbuktu
takes visitors on a journey through West
Africa’s spectacular and diverse geographic
regions. Along the way children and adults
are immersed in an adventure of discovery as
they learn about the rhythm of West African
life.
In each geographic region children
are introduced to the foodways, customs and
culture of the people who call that area
home. From the coastal cities, children
take a sojourn through the treetops of
mountain rainforests, carefully making their
way to the open-air family compound on the
Savannah. Finally, children trek the last
leg of their journey to the Sahel where they
will find Timbuktu, an ancient center of
learning.
From Here to Timbuktu is a
one-of-a-kind hands-on experience!
This exhibit will be here through January
2009. This
exhibit is made possible through a grant from the Institute
of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). Timbuktu sponsors include
Time Warner Cable and BellSouth Real Yellow
Pages.
Over the Horizon's exhibits will change every 18 months so that a variety of countries
and cultures can be explored. From Here to Timbuktu is the
second global awareness exhibit at EdVenture. Kangaroo
Crossing, our Australian exhibit, is now on a cross-country
tour of other children's museums.
