Mobile Museum Experience–

LEARN. CREATE. SKATE. 

 

What is it?

The Mobile Museum Experience (MMX) is a uniquely stimulating and exciting, participatory, educational program for all ages that incorporates ethnographic history, emotional wellness, creative expression, body movement exploration and screen-free socializing--all curated through the lens of the black experience and roller-skate culture.

 

The African-American Roller-Skate Museum (AARSM) delivers this multi-dimensional presentation--including rental skates, safety gear, and all of the necessary supplies--for groups of students, adults, and families, at your location. We will set up in gymnasiums, cafeterias, basketball courts, multipurpose rooms, or in any open space with a smooth surface.

 

The Mobile Museum Experience in its ultimate form takes place in one full-day and includes three segments: LEARN. CREATE. SKATE.–lasting 6 periods/6-hrs in total. 

Groups may also choose to host the MMX by segments.
