What is the REAL. LIFE. Exhibit?
The REAL. LIFE. Exhibit is a walk-through, multi-sensory exhibit that allows people to experience what REAL. LIFE. is like for children affected by disaster, conflict and poverty.
Visitors to the exhibit describe the experience: “Eye-opening.” “I will never be the same.” “Inspiring.” “I must do something.” “I can make a difference.” Read more comments »

“Walking through the REAL. LIFE. Exhibit touched me more than any textbook or movie would. I took in more than expected and left with more than I could imagine. I felt that I had to do something. I think that the exhibit should be somewhere that everyone goes to.” —Westview High School student

I’m only one person, but I can make a difference.
