Amelia Earhart to be featured in a traveling National Geographic exhibit

Amelia Earhart will be the focus of a traveling National Geographic exhibit that will hit the road this fall.

?National Geographic Maps: Tools for Adventure? will provide families with an exciting opportunity to immerse themselves in the thrilling world of maps. Dynamic exhibit elements, grouped by land, sea, air and space themes, invite families to become explorers, chart new territory and plan their own adventures.

The exhibit will feature a number of interactive components and unique artifacts, including charts used by Earhart?s navigator and a pair of aviator goggles worn by Earhart herself! Special Map Walls allow visitors to check out enlarged maps from the journeys of a number of featured explorers, including Earhart.

Developed by the Children?s Museum of Indianapolis in cooperation with National Geographic Society, ?Maps: Tools for Adventure? opens at the Children?s Museum of Indianapolis in October of 2006.
