The Mobile Museum of Tolerance will be open to the public from noon to 6 p.m. Monday to Wednesday, Nov. 1-3, at the 95th Street Library, 3015 Cedar Glade Drive.
An educational initiative from the Simon Wiesenthal Center, the museum uses technology and interactive lessons to teach people about human dignity and standing up to anti-Semitism, bullying, racism, hate and intolerance, according to a news release from state Sen. Laura Ellman, D-Naperville, who is sponsoring the museum’s visit with state Rep. Janet Yang Rohr, D-Naperville.
It visits about 150 schools and communities using technology and interactive lessons to help bring its message of tolerance.
