"The exhibition breathed life into our study of Africa... It's nothing you could experience out of a textbook."

Third Grade Teacher, Ken Sider, Riverside Elementary School

Make the exhibition experience more meaningful.
NEH on the Road exhibitions come with a commitment to engage audiences of all ages with a wide variety of interpretive strategies and a wealth of educational support materials.

Do your students and visitors "hear and forget?"
"see and remember?" or "do and understand?"
Today, the Confucian belief about how we learn may be more relevant than ever. Passive text-based learning is enhanced by a wide range of instructional materials that take advantage of the Internet, video, and other technologies to engage people in an interactive exploration of new topics and ideas. NEH on the Road exhibitions strive to help you give students and visitors experiences … not just information.

Unlimited possibilities and lots of great ideas.
NEH on the Road exhibitions come with a wealth of support materials to help enhance the visitor experience, extend learning, and enrich knowledge. NEH on the Road support materials include books for adults and children, curriculum resource units, teacher's guides, audio-visual materials, and lesson plans. The exhibitions themselves are interactive: combining text, objects, photos, audio-visual features and hands-on activities and games.
