Mead Art Museum K–12 Educators

The Mead Art Museum's school and educator programs use works of art in our permanent collection (Rotherwas Room and the Assyrian Reliefs) and rotating exhibition galleries to connect across disciplines and learning goals.  We offer self-guided and guided experiences.

Our trained Amherst College Student Museum Educators (SMEs) develop and lead inquiry-based and experiential learning experiences during guided visits.
