Learning Programs For Schools

The Rooms has hands-on learning sessions tied to grade-specific, curriculum-based learning outcomes. Programs are developed by our Education and Public Programming team, in consultation with other staff and education experts. We deliver the programs with the assistance of part-time staff and volunteers.

Special programs are also offered that relate to specific exhibitions or times of the year.
