OUTREACH PROGRAMS
The Morse Museum offers two outreach programs to area schools, the ABC's of Art Appreciation and the Morse Mobile Museum. Both programs include curriculum units that contain sequential lesson plans offering pre- and post-visit learning opportunities.
Primary (K-2) Program
ABC's of Art Appreciation
Select dates September through May
Bring a museum professional into your classroom for a brief art history lesson and activity. These 35-minute sessions focus on the art and artists represented in the Morse Museum collection. All supplies are included.
Intermediate (3-5) Program
Morse Mobile Museum
Select dates September through May
Developed by Hugh and Jeannette McKean and implemented in 1991, the Mobile Museum was designed as an introduction to the Morse Museum's collection and the art of the late-19th and early-20th centuries. Today, this gallery on wheels visits area schools free of charge as an outreach and enrichment program of the Museum. Mobile Museum school visits are targeted for grades 3 to 5 and give students the opportunity to explore the wonder of collecting, art history, and art appreciation.
Exhibits in the Mobile Museum change periodically, but they generally include leaded-glass creations by Louis Comfort Tiffany, oil paintings, ceramics, and other objects from the Morse Museum collection.
IN-HOUSE PROGRAMS
Home School (K-5) Program
Morse Museum Tour
Select dates September through May
Bring your home school group to the Morse Museum and learn about American art of the late-19th and early-20th centuries. The tours are designed for parents or guardians and children in grades K to 5. Each tour, led by a Morse Museum docent, lasts approximately 45 minutes and includes gallery activities as well as a take-home activity. Participation is free. The number of children on each tour is limited, and reservations are required.
