The Boston Museum will showcase Boston's rich history in a contemporary context and serve as a gateway to the rich educational resources throughout the city.
The Boston Museum will broaden and deepen the appreciation of Boston as a "living classroom" and campus for thematic learning through partnerships with other historic sites and cultural institutions, sharing best practices and working in concert to create new programming and enrichment activities for educators and students throughout the region. We will also reach out to national audiences through extensive use of electronic links and new media technology. Text book publishers predict the disappearance of the printed text, perhaps within a decade. The Boston Museum will develop new ways of teaching about America's heritage through web-based curricula, virtual field trips, and other means. The Boston Museum will be a transformative educational experience for learners of all ages and styles. Its galleries will use a wide variety of approaches aimed at engaging families, school children and adults at all stages of life. Most importantly, the stories visitors encounter will have personal resonance, whether of ancestors arriving on Long Wharf or their own physical relationship to the place of Boston. EDUCATION NEWS: Boston Teachers Uncover City History The Boston Museum launched its work in education with the first of a series of summer institutes for teachers August 6-10. This week-long session, "The Boston Experience: Place over Time," focused on Boston's environmental and economic history. To learn more about this institute, click here.
