We recently celebrated the opening of the DART Green Line, which has a stop right outside the Museum's front door. If that wasn't exciting enough, the Green Line will be running during the State Fair of Texas, which starts this Friday! The Museum will be open from 10-7 during the State Fair, and admission will be free!

In the next month, we'll be posting video, photos and stories from our State Fair experiences, so stay tuned! In the area? Here's what we've got planned:

Texas Girls' State Fair
The Texas Girls' State Fair is a three-week event during the State Fair of Texas that honors, recognizes and showcases the achievements and interests of Texas girls from ages 10-18. Includes performances by finalists on the outdoor stage and exhibits of the finalists' achievements.

Exhibits

• Music Seen: Rock 'n' Roll Photojournalists will offer State Fair of Texas visitors a personal look at the biggest names in music history. The exhibit will feature over 100 photographs by well known women music photojournalists Lynn Goldsmith and Janet Macoska.
• Women and Spirit: Catholic Sisters in America highlights the untold story of Catholic sisters through the display of rare artifacts and photographs from more than 400 communities.

Outdoor Stage Performances

• The Girls That Rock! Music Festival features all-girl bands performing on The Women's Museum's outdoor stage! Come see these female artists show they really know how to ROCK!
• Earth Seen: Engineering the Future, presented by ExxonMobil, is a show designed to encourage young children to take an active interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math careers. Visitors participate throughout the show as “engineers” while learning about science, ecology and the earth.

Educational Activities

• Raytheon's MathMovesU invites visitors to create your own roller coaster, construct life-size tangram puzzles, relax in their Cyber Café and more.
• Visit the Oncor Smart Texas℠ Experience Center to learn about Oncor's deployment of more than 3 million advanced meters in its Texas service areas by 2012.
