With the new semester quickly approaching, this is a great time to submit a CLASS VISIT REQUEST to bring your students to the Museum of Art. We are accepting requests for Museum staff-guided and self-led visits in the galleries and in our Zuckert Seminar Room.
Don’t worry about having all the details in place; just let us know the date of the visit (and a couple alternates), the time, and number of students. We’ll contact you to discuss ideas and finalize plans after that.
Casey and Sean are excited to work with you this spring! For more information about how you can incorporate object-based learning into your course, click here.

Happy New Year!
I am the Curatorial Assistant for the Arctic Museum and therefore in charge of bringing in classes to interact with the collection. This fall we welcomed classes to the museum from 13 different departments. Students enjoyed viewing objects in our classroom and participating in activities in the galleries. Now it is already time to think about the Spring semester.
The Arctic Museum’s collection is diverse and interdisciplinary and can help enrich the study of many different courses. In the past, we have had classes from Italian to Visual Arts interact with the collection.
If you are interested in exploring the ways your students might work with specific collections or exhibits, please reach out to me at [email protected]. I would be happy to set up an initial meeting to understand what you want to accomplish and brainstorm how the Arctic Museum’s resources might be useful to you and your students. I look forward to working with you.
Best,
Rebecca LaPoint
