By Jeff Meade, School and Tours CoordinatorThe docent program at the Postal Museum is taking off in a new direction! Through the inspiration of a great intern-turned-docent, Sara Victorson, the docent program embarked on a series of field trips to connect the Postal Museum with other Smithsonian museums and Washington DC cultural attractions. Making connections to other DC landmarks takes the Postal Museum experience outside its physical walls and let’s visitors see the importance of our collection in different ways. The field trips not only expand docent knowledge, they help build a sense of community. We’ve already toured the Smithsonian’s African Art Museum, the Freer-Sackler Gallery of Art, the National Portrait Gallery and the National Gallery of Art.
