  From Here to Timbuktu

  February 16 - June 9, 2013

  Timbuktu has been spoken of in legend and shrouded in mystery. Many people don't know that Timbuktu is a real city rich in history. It is one of many spectacular West African destinations that can be found in the hands-on exhibit From Here to Timbuktu. Children, and adults too, journey through the diverse geographic regions of West Africa's stunning landscape-- from the coastal cities, through the treetops of mountain rainforests, to an open-air family compound on the Savanna, and finally to the Sahel, where visitors will find Timbuktu and discover the truth behind this fabled city. From Here to Timbuktu: A Journey Through West Africa is organized by EdVenture Children's Museum and made possible by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Sciences.
