Museum of Art and Archaeology
Education is central to the Museum’s mission. We are committed to presenting the Museum’s collections to a wide variety of audiences using different perspectives. The personal, voluntary learning that occurs in a Museum differs by individual and group. Greater understanding, engagement and enjoyment are promoted at our Museum through the use of interpretive techniques used by tour leaders such as docents, labels, self-tour brochures, or materials found on our website, such as "Learning to Look." Programming, including lectures, talks, children’s events, films and special tours serves to further enhance learning experiences at the Museum.
