SUMMARY:Water/Ways in Jackson
DESCRIPTION:The Mississippi Agriculture & Forestry Museum will host Water/Ways\, a traveling exhibit from the Smithsonian Institution\, from December 7 through January 19. \nWater/Ways is a traveling exhibit offered by the Museum on Main Street division of the Smithsonian Institution. It consists of five free-standing display units incorporating photographs and text as well as numerous interactives ranging from basic flip charts to state of the art audio and video devices. Requiring a display area of a minimum of 650 sq. ft.\, the exhibit is designed for smaller venues\, thereby achieving the goal of “bringing the Smithsonian to Small Town America.” \nWater/Ways explores the endless motion of the water cycle\, water’s effect on landscape\, settlement and migration\, and its impact on culture and spirituality. It looks at how political and economic planning have long been affected by access to water and control of water resources. Human creativity and resourcefulness provide new ways of protecting water resources and renewing respect for the natural environment.
