DMNH’s public engagement staff will also offer educational activities as part of Winterthur’s own series of programs and in addition to providing items from its collection for exhibits.
“Through this expanded partnership with Winterthur for programs, events, and exhibits this year, the Delaware Museum of Natural History continues to bring the wonders of nature and science to the community, offer enhanced benefits to our members, and expand educational opportunities,” said DMNH’s Executive Director Halsey Spruance.
“The partnership between Winterthur and the Delaware Museum of Natural History is more than simply being good neighbors on Route 52,” said Carol B. Cadou, the Charles F. Montgomery Director and CEO at Winterthur. “We will combine forces for an increased number of students, teachers, children, and families in a way that is long overdue. With complimentary missions, and a desire to impact the lives of curious, young learners, we look forward working together to extend our educational reach.”
