SELF GUIDED TOURS
Tours at the museum are self guided. Visitors are expected to avoid areas where programs are in progress. Access to exhibits is not guaranteed. Here are a few tips to help make your visit to any museum an enjoyable learning experience.
Museums are a wonderful meeting ground for the shared interests of schools and families. Field trips and family outings to museums enrich what your children are learning in school and help them link it to the larger world. Teachers and families, through field trips and other activities, play an important role in introducing students to museums and using them as learning resources. By working together, they can help children make the most of visits to museums. Build on and reinforce lessons learned in the classroom by going on family visits to the museum after school, on weekends, and during the summer.
-
Volunteer to help plan and chaperone field trips to museums.
-
Check the newspapers, listen to the radio, or watch television for special announcements and programs about exhibits and opportunities that reinforce what your children are learning in school or on topics of particular interest to them. Watch for television programs aimed at collectors and hobbyists.
-
Ask to be put on the mailing lists of museums and become a member of your favorite museum.
