National EMS Museum on Tour

Experience the National EMS Museum at your local museum! Since 2019 the National EMS Museum has partnered with local museums across the country to bring EMS artifacts out of our vaults and make EMS history come alive for communities coast to coast. In addition to long term museum installations, the National EMS Museum also provide state, regional and national industry conferences with special curated exhibits to compliment the conference’s line-up.

Members of the National EMS Museum receive special access to our host museums while the exhibits are on tour, including invitations to special programs and other community events. Check out our show schedule below and be sure to stop by our host museums to say hi, and enjoy all they have to offer.

Are you a director, curator, event planner or program officer and want to host one of the National EMS Museum’s exhibits or programs at your venue? Please contact our office to book the National EMS Museum.
