Museums

No need to pack a lunch for a field trip to these museums around the world! There are so many places to visit from the comfort of your couch!

ART APPRECIATION
YOUR MUSEUM EXPERIENCE
  • SEE: What do you notice? What details do you notice? How is it made? How is it displayed?
  • THINK & FEEL: What thoughts and feelings are stirred? What is the message being conveyed?
  • WONDER: What questions come to mind or are asked? What puzzles you? What questions linger?
  • ACT: What actions are you inspired to take? 
WHY MUSEUMS MATTER
Museums display, collect, preserve, and interpret art, cultural, and scientific artifacts. They can also offer meaningful opportunities for reflection, learning, and discourse.
When you visit a museum, consider the museum's mission and how it engages with its diversity of visitors. How does it contribute to health, vitality, and well-being? How does it make you feel? What does it make you want to do?
