Road Scholar Learning Adventures Bring History To Life With These Five Must See Museums
Tuesday, August 22nd, 2017
Museums have transformed in recent years from being places to view paintings and sculptures to innovative spaces where history, architecture and technology merge to create a brand new way for the public to experience the world—past present and future. Road Scholar, the not-for-profit leader in educational travel for adults, has created new learning adventures across the country at some of our nation's most interesting museums, including the unusual International Spy Museum in our nation's capital, and the Museum of the American Revolution, the first of its kind in the country.
"Road Scholars are always looking for new ways to explore the world and want to learn about a broad range of subjects, from history and culture to nature and art," said James Moses, President and CEO of Road Scholar. "We develop learning adventures that inspire you to explore new experiences and challenge your inquisitive nature. Our renowned experts stimulate your thinking and provide a deeper perspective on the museum experience."
