Forget Night at the Museum, we’re trading movie magic for real-life museum moments (only because Ben Stiller couldn’t make it...)
You’ll connect with curators, educators, and creative professionals. Hear their stories, explore their spaces, and see how a passion for culture, education, and community can turn into a fulfilling career.
We'll be visiting:
Living History Farms: An interactive, 500-acre outdoor museum that tells the amazing 300+ year story of how Iowans transformed the fertile prairies of the Midwest into the most productive farmland in the world.
Des Moines Art Center: An art museum, a studio arts school, and world-class sculpture park.
The Jordan House: A stately Victorian home of Italianate Gothic design, listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a member of the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom Program.
State Historical Society of Iowa: The official historical repository of the State of Iowa, providing grants, education, and outreach about Iowa’s history.
Lunch and transportation are provided, just bring your curiosity and career questions! A small registration fee helps cover lunch costs.
