Large Plexiglass Enclosure?
Greetings all!
We have the opportunity to add a quite unique racing car as an exhibit, but it needs to be displayed in a true museum sense of "look but don't touch," as opposed to a hands-on play experience. Does anyone have any experience(s) that they can share with this type of situation, i.e. encasing a large object in a thick plexiglass enclosure?
Thanks, so much!

Said: We refund so that people don't send their kids to camp with Covid "just to get their money's worth". We don't, and can't, transfer registrations to another camp as the other camps are all full.

COVID-19 Cancellation Policies
Hello!
Summer camp has begun at Kidzu Children's Museum, and we are running into issues regarding cancellations/requests to transfer registrations due to families who have contracted COVID-19 and aren't able to have their child attend camp. In these situations, since we aren't aware that a child won't be attending camp until the camp week has already begun, we are losing registrations for camps that were previously sold out (with waitlists) and cannot fill the spots wit...

We Can Do This Campaign has created four American Sign Language (ASL) videos with closed captions in English and Spanish
The We Can Do This campaign has developed four ASL videos so organizations like children’s museums can help increase parent/caregiver confidence in COVID-19 vaccines among the deaf and hard of hearing communities. The videos provide informative content about COVID-19, vaccines, boosters, frequently asked questions, and how to access and use the Disability Information and Access Line (DIAL). This content is evidence-based, is supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Preve...
