The Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES) is pleased to offer an open booking process for state humanities councils interested in touring Museum on Main Street exhibitions. Interested state councils should contact Carol Harsh, Director, Museum on Main Street at 202.465.5267 or harshc@si.edu to book an exhibition. Give MoMS a call!

General Information:

1. MoMS exhibitions are only available for booking via the sponsorship of a state humanities council or another statewide organization.
2. Unfortunately, exhibitions are not available for individual bookings by museums. Museums and other institutions interested in hosting a MoMS exhibit should contact their state humanities council to discuss their state's plans for hosting a tour.
3. Choose your exhibition below.

Booking Process:

1. You can book or hold an available slot at any time.
2. A confirmed booking fully commits the council to the tour. At the time a booking is confirmed, a state council receives a contract for the exhibition and is billed for a $3,000 deposit. The balance of the participation fee is due at the beginning of the tour in the state.
3. A hold reserves a slot until you are able to confirm the booking. Organizations will be asked to commit to a booking three years prior to the beginning of a tour to maintain our programmatic and training schedule.
4. Encore tours, concurrent tours, and double bookings of the same exhibition are encouraged, pending availability. On the last year of an exhibition’s availability, priority will be given to state councils who have not hosted that exhibit.
