Program Details

Each “suitcase” will include related education collection artifacts, reproduction archival photos and documents, an educators guide with curriculum connections, and activities.
This offering aims to respond to challenges teachers are facing in getting their students to the museum – including the costs related with busing and large class sizes. While this program will not be free, we will be piloting it at $100/week. This will allow schools to check the suitcase out and share it among multiple classrooms. Each teacher who checks it out will be given a survey to provide feedback to allow us to make updates and market these appropriately.​​​​​
