There are many species of crabs that call the Texas Gulf Coast home. During this program, we'll learn about what makes a crab a crab. Then, we'll dive a little deeper into specific adaptations different crab species have that allow them to survive in the environment. If we're lucky, we may even have a few special (crabby) guests!

Please join the National Museum of the Pacific War as they honor all veterans who have served in the United States Armed Forces. In this live virtual Veterans Day celebration, you will hear from one of America's Greatest Generation -- a WWII veteran who made three landings in the Pacific, museum staff, volunteers, school bands, and choirs. These groups will pay tribute to all those who have served or are currently serving our nation during peacetime or war, those gone, and those who still walk among us.

Journey back to the fateful day of the Kennedy assassination and experience the emotion of that historical event through actual photographs and firsthand accounts. More than 60 photographs from the Museum's collections provide a backdrop to a dramatic voice-over by our Curator. Learn about a key moment in Texas and American history from the people who witnessed the events of November 22, 1963.

The Printing Museum explores the intersections of the history, art, and technology of printing and demonstrates its enduring impact. Virtual visits to the Printing Museum are appropriate for a wide range of subjects, whether the focus is science and technology or English Language Arts, history, or fine arts and crafts! We offer interactive virtual tours, 40-60 minutes long, with primary sources aligned with Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for American History and the Revolution, Texas History and Independence, Journalism and Communications, and more available upon request.

What is printing, and what is its historical impact? In what ways do we continue to see its effect today? Take a virtual trip to the museum and explore the earliest examples of writing, illuminated texts, and modern-day machines. Learn about the integral role printing had in transforming societies as we journey through the Renaissance, Colonial America, Texas independence from Mexico, and a mid-century newsroom. With demos on the Gutenberg and Columbus presses, students can learn the mechanics of printing and its dynamic influence on history, fine art, and communications.
