People of all ages are looking for quality online content as a way to stay engaged and connected during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the University of Alabama (UA) Museums are closed, they began livestreaming educational content March 27.

“The university will use a variety of platforms such as daily livestreams by scientists, historians, archaeologists and naturalists from UA Museums,” said William Bomar, executive director. “It is my hope that during this difficult time, our audiences across Alabama and beyond will take advantage of our educational resources and see our museums as a source of enrichment and comfort.”

Each museum will continue to provide educational outreach through daily programming featuring experts in various fields who will offer Q&A time.
