Travel back in time and unravel the secrets of world-famous heroes and heroines in "Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum: The Exhibit" at the Upcountry History Museum – Greenville County, a Smithsonian Affiliate.
This exhibit brings to life the acclaimed PBS KIDS® TV series, Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum, which follows kid adventurers Xavier Riddle, his little sister Yadina and best friend Brad as they tackle everyday problems by doing something extraordinary: traveling back in time to learn from real-life inspirational figures when they were kids.
Families and young adventurers will sneak through a hidden passage to the Secret Museum and use a hologram to unlock three different times in history to meet inspirational heroes. Uncover a dinosaur skeleton with paleontologist Mary Anning, explore a secret garden with botanist George Washington Carver and look at x-rays with chemist Marie Curie. In the Hall of Heroes, learn the traits of a hero and how you can be a hero today.
The PBS KIDS® TV series, Xavier Riddle and The Secret Museum, is based on the highly acclaimed children’s book series by Brad Meltzer and Chris Eliopoulos, Ordinary People Change the World. "Xavier Riddle and The Secret Museum: The Exhibit" is made possible by the generous support of the Crawford Taylor Foundation and will be on display May 16 through Sept. 27.
