The work of five staff members who would develop and provide access to online content.

The novel coronavirus has closed the Chippewa Valley Museum, along with many other cultural organizations, preventing audiences from coming to the museum and participating in public programs on site. This project will take the museum out to the community through virtual public programs. These programs encourage students of all of ages to engage with their communities, and each other, and provide different levels of engagement depending upon the needs and interests of the audience. The project activities expand the reach of the Chippewa Valley Museum while preserving critical humanities-based positions
