Online Exhibits

On any given day, less than 1% of the museum collection is on display due to space constraints. To help bring more of the collection to the public, we've built a number of digital exhibits that bring lesser-seen items out into the limelight. The following exhibits are digital only and have never been on display in our permanent location on 240 E Street. You can see past Museum Exhibits here.

The first online-only exhibits are currently being created. Please check back for updates. When the Exhibits are created, a notification will be sent out through our blog which you can access here or on our Facebook page.

Feel free to wander the digital halls of the Clarke Digital Museum and see for yourself just a little more of what is in the collection.

​Interested in contributing to the Digital Museum? You can donate here or contact us to get involved!
