Guided Tours are designed for small groups and exhibit-specific. General admission included after the guided exhibit tour has finished.
TOUR DESCRIPTION
While Hostile Terrain 94 covers a small amount of space in the Museum, the stories in the exhibit span for miles and millennia. This tour emphasizes the value of human life and discusses how government policies influence the way people think about land, life, and loss. The tour provides deeper understanding of the exhibit features and highlights our inherent relationship with the US-Mexico border -- and beyond.
The Hostile Terrain 94 exhibit directly discusses loss of life and violent realities of migration along US border regions. The experience and content can be very powerful and personal. Please use your discretion to decide if this is an appropriate fit for your group.
