Educational Services throughout Minnesota

Even if you can't make it to Minneapolis, you can still take advantage of the Institute's resources. In addition to sending materials by mail, we offer several other ways to access the museum and its collection. Call (612) 870-3134 for more information about these services.

Curriculum Materials On-Line
A wealth of museum-related information is available on the World Wide Web, including an expanding number of curriculum resources. Curriculum packets available on-line include: Amazing Animals in Art, Art in America, World Mythology in Art, and Grace Hartigan.

More than 30 Art Education links can also be found on the Curriculum Materials page, and we hope to add even more resources throughout the year. Please leave your comments in the mailbox to let us know what you think.

Access ArtsNet Minnesota
This new interactive educational resource has been created by The Minneapolis Institute of Arts, the Walker Art Center, the Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum, and teachers throughout Minnesota. While exploring this interactive web site, you can view images and discover curriculum resources from three art museums, download lesson plans written by museum staff and teachers, and participate in an on-line curriculum exchange. This site will evolve with teachers' input, so please join the conversation!
