What tools does the Michener Art Museum provide for families to get the most out of their experience visiting an art museum?
The Michener provides endless resources for families. • There are activity sheets and guides that families can use during their visit. These can be downloaded from our learning resources page, or are available at the front desk and Family Education Center. • The Family Education Center provides “Discovery Boxes” filled with books, games, and interactive materials related to the permanent collection and special exhibitions at the Michener. • The Junior Docent program provides interested students with the opportunity to learn about museum life, to go behind the scenes, and to lead their peers and younger students through the museum to discuss works of art! • The Counselor in Training Program provides teens with experience helping in the arts classes through our extensive summer camp program. • Don’t forget the art! It provides opportunities to explore new worlds and become re-acquainted with works of art that become old friends.
