Despite the frigid weather of late, the Museum is itching to travel! In our mission to serve as a “museum beyond walls” and as continuing programming for 100 Years of Duke: Names to Remember, we have developed a traveling version of Durham A-Z: E is for ESP. Originally part of the MoDH’s Durham A-Z series, this exhibit explores the Duke Parapsychology Department at the Rhine Research Center in the 20th century. E is for ESP will be hosted by the Durham County Library’s main branch beginning January 22, making stops at other venues, including the lobby of the Chesterfield Building.

If we’ve read your mind, yes, you too can host E is for ESP! Reach out to programming@modh.org or call 919.246.9993 to request further details.

We are also encouraging interested educators to request the new iteration of the Faces of Durham traveling exhibit. Perfect for classrooms and school media centers, this all new design of the fan-favorite program aims to teach students (from elementary school through college) about some of the many individuals who have greatly impacted Durham. For those who are already familiar with and might have even hosted the exhibit before, this new, easy to maneuver version is designed with aesthetics and ergonomics in mind. So, we’d say it is definitely worth reserving again! Again, reach out to programming@modh.org or call 919.246.9993 to request further details.

Another MoDH exhibit to welcome in your space is L is for Legacy. This Durham A-Z  exhibit is part of the larger 2022-2023 The Life & Legacy of Floyd McKissick Sr., and is a great way to teach students about the importance of heritage and ancestry. This traveling exhibit details the life of McKissick Sr., a revered Durham civil rights activist and attorney, and complements Black History Month curriculum. Yes, reach out to programming@modh.org or call 919.246.9993 to request further details.
