Museum-School Programs for Students of All Ages

The Museum’s Education Department offers fieldtrips, outreach visits and homeschool programs that focus on arts integration and empower students to construct meaning from interactive experiences with art.

We offer programs specially designed for the Ansel Adams Masterworks exhibition in addition to an array of programs based on the Museum’s collection. Through our American History Programs, students consider the artist as documentarian of American life and history. Mythology, Our Environment, Women of the Nineteenth-Century and Decorative Arts Styles are just a few of the theme-based tours available along with VTS and Learning to Look tours to encourage observation, critical thinking, and communication skills. Many of these programs include multiple components such as classroom PowerPoint introductions presented by museum educators, teacher resources with background information and lesson plans, and student hands-on activities.

Need more information? Contact Meg Gianetti, Museum/School Programs Coordinator at 797-0000 x2146. We would be happy to visit your school to present a brief overview of the programs we offer to the school administration, teachers, board, or parent/teacher organization.
