The Fort Worth Museum of Science and History is temporarily suspending public hours in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The museum said it will move to hybrid programming through this winter with continued in-person learning opportunities and special events as well as digital experiences.
"We are focused on engaging Museum guests by moving many of our programs online and special one-of-a-kind events," Van Romans, Museum President, said. "We will also use this time to design and develop new exhibits and guest experiences to delight the community after full reopening in Spring 2021."
In January, the Little Scholars Program and Museum School will continue with in-person learning.
The Fort Worth Children's Partnership will also begin its spring semester in a virtual format.
The museum is also offering ongoing learning opportunities through the spring for schools and families, including virtual field trips, virtual science and history nights, virtual discovery lab online groups, discovery kits, and teen video creation programs.
New attractions and opportunities in January will include the "Everybody Grows" leadership network program, virtual member monthly events, and Preschool Family STEAM Club on Tuesdays.
