We have various Cultural Encounter Kits (Educational Trunks) which we loan to Nebraska Schools. As partners with Humanities Nebraska, our mission is to celebrate Nebraska’s highly diverse and multi-ethnic cultural heritage by creating museum-quality kits that help enrich the classroom experience of Nebraska schoolchildren. Kits contain pictures, music, videos, clothing, books, cultural artifacts, comprehensive lesson plans, and more. We are proud of our state’s diversity and want kids to feel that same pride in their own cultures, while learning to appreciate the cultures of those around them.
