Art Museum Resources

Art Museums not only provide a chance for a virtual tour but they are super resources for teachers. Visit the art museums around the world and discover teachers guides and/or additional information for you and your class.

       The Museum as Educator

       More and more art museums have assumed the role of educator and are very
       involved in docent in the school programs, art schools, classes for teachers,
       and as an important resource for the classroom teacher. There are a number
       of museums who have an art expert service over the internet. Museums will
       provide volunteers to visit your classroom, and often provide slide &
       educational supplements for current and permanent exhibitions. The museum
       stores often have additional educational materials available to the teacher.

       The National Gallery of Art located at http://www.nga.org has a wealth of
       resources for K-12 teachers. Available to teachers is also a hardcopy catalog
       of the National Gallery of Art will loan films, slides and other materials to
       teachers. Contact the gallery for a catalog and rules.
