Our Education Vision

Examples:
  • Museum Education and Programs at The Yager Museum enable the college community to make personal meaning of Museum collections; explore their creative potential individually and collaboratively; and consider the role of the Museum and its collections in their lives today.
  • Glenbow Museum's school programs enrich the learning opportunities for Alberta students from Kindergarten to Grade 12. The educational programs support students in learning about the history of their region while also broadening their horizons through international exhibitions and programs. Over 40,000 school children participate in Glenbow Museum's school programs annually.
  • The Division of Education of the Philadelphia Museum of Art relates, through interpretation, the Museum’s collections and its commitment to their preservation, study and display, to the needs and interests of a diverse audience. The department has developed nationally and internationally recognized programs for children, families, teachers, adult learners, and special audiences alike.
  • A visit to the Powerhouse Museum combines observation and interaction to enhance students’ knowledge and understanding, while developing new learning skills and interests across a wide range of study areas. Use our Teachers Guide to find all the exhibitions, programs and resources you need to make your visit the complete learning excursion for your class.
  • The Museum can inspire children to achieve loftier goals through stories of vision made real. They will be told in a manner that educates and entertains; they will be told with respect for the richness and diversity of the many cultures of Dallas; and they will be told accurately and honestly.
    Museum visitors will gain an understanding of how the past teaches us of our present and our future. Visitors will learn.
