International Exchange

Colleagues from the National Museum of Niger are currently visiting Chicago through the Community of Conservation partnership linking students in Niger with peers at Chicago’s Francis W. Parker School.

Our international guests have been touring Chicago’s museums as part of the cultural exchange. Above Zoo Manager Moumouni Yacouba, Director Bida Ali, Communication Contact Boubacar Hassane Oumarou and Communication Officer Niandou Kadi Seyni pose near Lincoln Park Zoo’s black rhino exhibit.

Thanks to the American Association of Museums and the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs’ Museums & Community Collaborations Abroad Program for funding the partnership!
