The Museum of Interesting Things

Demonstrating The Evolution of the Idea & Beyond! Museum of Interesting Things is a traveling interactive exhibition. Our demonstrations are hands on.

Going to schools, libraries, senior centers, events & More! The Museum of Interesting Things is a traveling interactive demonstration/exhibition of antiques and inventions inspiring innovation and creativity - learning from the past to create a better future. We let people touch some items and truly experience what life was like many years ago. We bring items that show what inventions led to ipods

and other items in our everyday lives. There are 8 departments that coincide with the curriculum in our public schools as well as being fun and interesting for kids and adults! The departments are: Science, Math, Literature, Medical, Toys, Music, Household and Photography. We can also work with any age group & budget from grades 1 through 12, college students to senior citizens. Schools, hospitals, universities, galleries, parties, libraries, anywhere
