What does the region of Siberia and the Sonoran Desert have in common? How is the Desert Museum connected to this remote region? Many people are surprised to learn that the Museum is known throughout the international community as a leader in regional displays, interpretation, and education. Our Associate Director of Conservation, Education, & Science, Marie Long, went on a recent interpretive assignment to Siberia to teach best interpretation practices. Curious For More?

Volunteer Viernes
We would like to congratulate our volunteers of the month for February: Susan Stevens-Whitney and Michael Whitney! This extraordinary couple have been volunteers with the Desert Museum's Membership department for seven years. During that time, they have adapted to the ever-changing needs of the department. What Michael and Susan do most (and best) for the Museum is sell memberships on the front patio.
We could not do what we do without them. Thank you for being such a great addition to the family.
Volunteer Today!
