The Oklahoma Museum Network funded by the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation is a statewide collaboration of five partner museums working together to provide hands-on discovery learning and science resources to families, students and educators across the state.
Network members include Science Museum Oklahoma (Hub) in Oklahoma City, Jasmine Moran Children's Museum in Seminole, Leonardo's Discovery Warehouse & Adventure Quest in Enid, Museum of the Great Plains in Lawton and Tulsa Air and Space Museum & Planetarium in Tulsa.
In Summer 2008, five hands-on exhibits will begin touring between partner museums, with each rotating every six months. Network museums also participate in nationally-recognized training programs, exchanging best practices in order to maximize education, fundraising and capacity-building efforts. Additionally, a large vehicle housing an immersive/interactive science exhibit will travel to rural areas, engaging students in the outer most regions of the state.
