Passports: A Cultural Discovery Day is an activity designed for the entire family to enjoy as they explore various cultures from around the world without having to leave the neighborhood. Booths focused on various cultural regions will include a brief educational background about a specific culture and a hands-on activity. Each family member will be given a passport booklet that they can have stamped at each booth after completing the activity. The event is run by BYU students who will act as educators and travel guides, leading the cultural presentations and stamping each child's passport. The MPC's teaching kits, used at each booth, contain artifacts that children will be able see and handle. Highlighted cultures include those of the American Southwest, Africa, Mesoamerica, Asia, and Polynesia. The museums newest exhibit, Kachinas of the Southwest: Dances, Dolls, and Rain, will also be featured. The Kachina exhibit explores the Pueblo Kachina tradition, which is based on their belief in spiritual beings that exist in everything. Although these spirits are represented in various ways, dancing and dolls are the most common forms.
