OKLAHOMA MUSEUM NETWORK
405.602.3685
www.oklahomamuseumnetwork.org
A State Network of Museums is Raising the Bar for Fun. It is rare for a museum to get a new traveling exhibit, if lucky, you can see one a year.  But thanks to a partnership supported by the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation, Oklahoma museums will see not one, but FOUR new exhibits that will travel around the state providing exciting hands-on experiences for children and families!  The Oklahoma Museum Network, a partnership of five museums dedicated to increasing discovery learning opportunities, launched four new traveling exhibits simultaneously.
Sherry Marshall, Director of the Oklahoma Museum Network explains, “Our partner museums are excited to host these interactive groups that always provide a new adventure.  These exhibitions rotate TWICE a year, something very unusual to see in the museum community.  We wanted to make sure that Oklahoma children always have access to new and exciting hands-on play experiences.”  The exhibitions listed here will be on display through September then rotate to the next partner until each one has been featured at every museum. 
•    Tinkering, an interactive play exploration of how things work, is currently on display at the Jasmine Moran Children’s Museum in Seminole.
•    Memory explores the way our brain perceives the world around us, featured at the Tulsa Air and Space Museum.
•    AirPlay is open at Leonardo’s Discovery Warehouse in Enid.  Here you can experience the power of air and how it moves and affects objects.
•    SPEED is the science of quick, letting guests experience different activities focusing on what makes things push, zoom, drag, go, and stop!  It is on display at the Museum of the Great Plains in Lawton.
The network hub museum, Science Museum Oklahoma, will be launching yet another OMN traveling exhibit in the Fall of 2011 designed specifically for young children.  “Thanks to the generous support of the Reynolds Foundation, we are able to bring world class experiences to all areas of our state.  It is something we are extremely proud of for Oklahoma.” says Marshall.
Exhibits are open and included with general admission at each museum.  An OMN affiliate upgrade membership is available for purchase with museum memberships that allows one year of free admission for five people to OMN partner museums.
