Official Release


 

The Anniston Museums and Gardens (AMAG) has earned a $5,000 competitive Alabama Humanities Recovery Grant from the Alabama Humanities Alliance. This award will help make possible interactive stations at the Berman Museum. The Berman Museum’s collection is captivating with artifacts such as Hitler’s tea set and espionage weapons, but often the story is lost to our young visitors. In order to capture our young audience’s attention, we plan to use AHA funds to add hands-on interactives for children. The interactives will engage with tactile learners, auditory and musical learners, and visual and verbal learners.
