Studying the war in Europe with The National WWII Museum.
As Dunkirk arrives in theaters, The Wall Street Journal surveys the cinematic history of the war.
"Prior to touring the Museum vault with the curatorial staff, our class was introduced to another perspective of teaching World War II—using statistics to help strengthen or challenge an argument."
"Out of all the experiences we had Monday, one of the favorite lessons among the teachers was the classroom lesson from the curriculum guide using 'What would you do?' scenarios."
The National WWII Museum invites all teachers of grades 4–12 to see the special exhibit So Ready for Laughter: The Legacy of Bob Hope.
Join us for a comedy night cohosted by local comedy troupe Funny Bones Improv.
Funny Bones Improv’s mission is to share the gifts and benefits of laughter with sick children, their families, and their caregivers in multiple hospitals across Chicago and New Orleans through volunteer comedy improvisation performances. The troupe provides children with an opportunity to play with laughter and hopefully brighten their day, add a smile and a hearty laugh to reduce their stress.
The special exhibit So Ready for Laughter: The Legacy of Bob Hope will be open for viewing from 5:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. on the evening of the performance.
Program supported by the Bob & Dolores Hope Foundation, with special thanks to the World Golf Hall of Fame & Museum.
