SCHOOL TOURS

Our program strives to deliver an experience that is rooted in the principles of Reggio Emilia while maintaining the traditional museum practice of Visual Thinking Strategies.

Through these visits, the Museum provides a space for Pre-K - 3rd grade students to investigate a theme from a variety of angles and perspectives, offering multiple entries while fostering expression. Students engage with a range of materials and techniques to develop creativity while exploring Museum artworks as well as their own identities and communities.
