VIRTUAL FIELD TRIPS

A Museum Educator will lead you and your students on a live virtual tour of the Museum’s permanent exhibition. Students connect individually on their own devices or as a group from the classroom through video conferencing. As the Museum Educator walks through the exhibition, students can explore the exhibition and ask questions in real time. Teachers can opt for a 90-minute highlight tour that covers the whole exhibition or select a one-hour wing-specific tour. Multiple sessions per day can be provided to accommodate class periods and teaching schedules.

Holocaust/Shoah Wing

Through a geographical narration, the exhibition provides an expanded look at the Holocaust. It features an abundance of primary sources, including artifacts, survivor testimonies, historical films, and photography.

Human Rights Wing

This exhibition wing introduces representational justice implemented by the United States and its allies, placing representative individuals on trial for the crimes of a society. Next, students explore the development, goals, and impact of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Finally, the 10 Stages of Genocide Gallery helps students understand the behaviors that lead to genocide.

Pivot to America Wing

The exhibition makes a pivot to the United States so that students can interact with American and Texas history. They will explore our nation’s foundational ideals, historical reality, and the repair process by which our ideals and reality are brought more closely into accord.
