Bringing the Museum to You
Not every classroom, library, or community group can make it to one of our museum sites—but that doesn’t mean they have to miss out on the experience.
Each year, the Museums of Western Colorado’s Outreach Program brings hands-on learning experiences to communities throughout the Western Slope and surrounding region. From fossils and artifacts to interactive activities, our goal is simple: spark curiosity, inspire lifelong learning, and help people of all ages connect with the natural and cultural history of our region.
Recently, our education team visited the Rifle Branch Library as part of its Summer Reading Program, where dozens of young explorers experienced paleontology through stories, artifacts, and hands-on fossil discovery. Thanks to Rifle Community TV, you can now step behind the scenes and experience the program alongside them.
Watch the full program below.
