Programs
| Detective in Time |
| Learn about the role of museums in the community. Gain an insider’s perspective on what happens behind the scenes to build a collection, keep it organized and protected, and how we research and prepare for exhibits. Get out your magnifying glass and use your observational skills to identify mysterious museum artifacts, deduce their function, and share your findings. Additional activities will vary with the age of the group. You may be asked to study old documents and photographs to discover their significance or to help reorganize a jumbled collection of museum objects.
Recommended for elementary students of all grades. Close curriculum links with the Social Studies Inquiry Process and STEM Skills and Connections.
