Travelogues

The 75th Anniversary Season opens October 7, 2011.

Fridays, 7:00pm; Doors open at 6:15pm
Reuther High School Auditorium, 58th Street and Sheridan Road
Admission is free, and seating is unreserved.

A travelogue is a professional 90-minute presentation shown on a big screen with one intermission. It documents interesting places around the world, describing art, music, architecture, culture, and history from a first-person perspective. Travelogues are produced in the enhanced digital format and narrated live by the filmmaker.

Travelogues open the world for people of all ages, enhancing student classroom experiences, and enabling adults to relive (or plan for) vacations and business trips around the world.

Travel patrons and youth travelers can pick up their "passport" and collect a different sticker at each travelogue. Your support helps the Museums fund educational programs and activities at the Kenosha Public Museums. Take an armchair adventure and join us for our 75th season beginning October 7, 2011!

Travelogues are sponsored by the Kenosha Public Museums and supported in part by grants from Kenosha News.
