Welcome to the You and Me and History Kit!

You and Me and History is all about your identity, or the characteristics that make you who you are. Often we understand ourselves and others through the roles we play every day, such as being a friend, a teammate, a citizen, or a family member. In this kit, you will learn about artists who are inspired by identity and American history as you create artworks of your own. We look forward to seeing your beautiful creations. With permission from an adult, you can share your final projects on social media using #MyMuseumKit.
