Learn more about a country directly from a person who lived there! This series provides very personal student interactions with educators from around the globe.
Archaeology and Anthropology Experts
Our Museum-affiliated scholars share their experiences in the field through visuals, hands-on activities, and interactive discussions.
Virtual Workshops
Grades: PreK-2, 3-5, 6-8
Museum educators provide a live Museum-themed lesson in real time, covering topics such as mummification and daily life in ancient Rome. Our virtual workshops are designed to engage students through inquiry, object analysis, hands-on activities, and demonstrations. For more information visit our Interactive Virtual Learning page.
