The virtual tour allows visitors to take a virtual, 360-degree, self-guided tour of the entire museum by navigating from gallery to gallery either by using a drop-down map or by following navigational arrows connecting the individual nodes. Icons indicate hotspots where the visitor can get additional information such as videos, audio and links to online resources.
Note: Links to museum fact sheets have changed with the website redesign. We are in the process of updating those links from the virtual tour, but it will take time to complete this project. Thank you for your patience!
