Description

We are committed to sharing collections and special exhibitions with learners of all ages— extending beyond the walls of the museum through innovative, accessible education. The Traveling Trunk program offers themed trunks—completely free of charge—filled with lessons, educational objects, and artistic materials that bring museum-based learning directly to the classroom. These trunks can supplement a field trip to the Museum or serve as standalone enrichment tools for classroom studies. Each trunk includes: Thematic Introduction, Materials and Instructions for a Visual Arts Activity, Language Arts Component, and a Social Studies or History Component.
