Fairbanks Museum and Planetarium

Purpose: Building Public Access The Fairbanks Museum will improve public access to interpretive weather science in Vermont and beyond by integrating the development of a new interactive weather exhibit, formal and informal science learning opportunities, and a content-rich web presence with the museum's interpretive science program, Eye on the Sky. The project will include: the creation of free-standing interactive weather exhibits inviting visitors to explore the nature of wind, temperature, pressure, and water; the installation of automated weather instruments and visitor-operated information technology in the Gallery; the distribution of educational resources associated with the gallery's exhibits; and the development of rich web content that mirrors and complements the learning experiences available in the Gallery.
