It’s hard to believe we’re just over halfway through the showing of “The Negro Motorist Green Book,” an exhibition on loan to us through the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service. Explore how Black Americans traveled during the era of Jim Crow by using the listings of safe places inside this glove-compartment-sized book. Photos, videos and other interactives make this exhibit an experience for the entire family. Make plans to see it by Aug. 1. Juneteenth may be virtual this year, but we hope all Arkansans will take a moment to learn and celebrate freedom this month. Read more about Juneteenth here. The museum is in the middle of raising another $1.3 million to complete renovations at its world-class, nationally accredited museum. The Children’s Gallery, which opens this fall, is phase one, and it is nearly completed. A video wall will soon be installed along with cosmetic changes throughout the main floor of the building. We are planning a grand opening of the space this Sept. If you’d like to support our efforts, you can give here.
