Children’s Museum of Cheyenne finished a tour of Gillette and Wright with its Mobile Museum: STEAMing Across Wyoming.

mobile-museum-4On September 14 the Mobile Museum visited Campbell County Library and nearly 400 visitors experienced the wonders of Wyoming through the exhibit. Some stayed for hours, some returned twice in one day. Over 20 volunteers from Gillette helped with this event. The next day, the Mobile Museum appeared in Wright, Wyoming at the Community Center where 113 visitors attended.

The Mobile Museum is an interactive, family friendly-experience for children from ages 2 to 7. In the exhibit, children experience Wyoming landscapes and culture through play.

Monica Jennings, Mobile Museum Committee Chair said their goal is to take the Museum around the state to four different locations each for the next two years while they wait to open the new Children’s Museum of Cheyenne. For more information contact Monica at mobile@childrensmuseumofcheyenne.org or visit their website.
