The Wyoming State Museum’s Education Trunks provide hands-on learning to more than 4,000 students each year. A brand-new offering for the 2023-2024 school year are our Virtual Education Trunks! These trunks have 360-degree photos of the items contained in our Education Trunks, along with descriptions of each item. This way, students from across the world can experience the trunks in their classrooms.
