Museum on Main Street
The Smithsonian is to Kansas in 2028!
Humanities Kansas is bringing Spark! Places of Innovation, a Smithsonian Institution traveling exhibition to Kansas for an exclusive tour in 2028. More information coming soon!
The partnership between the Smithsonian Institution's Museum on Main Street program and Humanities Kansas extends the conversation about history, heritage, and ideas to communities statewide. High quality national exhibitions designed for small museums and other cultural organizations provide a springboard for explorations of local history and traditions, including highlights, turning points, and challenges. These local stories add to the larger national story to help us better understand American values and ideas. Since 1999, 13 Museum on Main Street Smithsonian exhibitions have traveled to 56 Kansas communities engaging over 230,000 visitors.
