Teaching the Arts -
Introduction Bring art from around the world into your classroom. Travel to the heights of the Himalayas, explore the rain forests, deserts, and savannas of Africa, or visit the royal palaces of Europe! These are just a few of the adventures you may have by using our extensive educational resources. This catalog describes the museum's resources and customized services that introduce students to the diverse world of art. Our classroom materials and guided tours are broadly based in the humanities and relevant to every area of study-from social studies and language arts to math and science. We hope you'll make our resources and collection integral parts of your curriculum. Be sure to visit our new gallery spaces, too. We continue to reinstall the collection in more meaningful ways and have placed many works on view for the first time. Look for new Indian, Himalayan, and Southeast Asian galleries this fall and for new, more comprehensive African galleries next spring! Of course, as we reinstall galleries, some works of art may be temporarily in storage. This year, the Chinese and Japanese collections will be off view until August 1998. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this expansion and reinstallation may cause. To find out if a particular work or tour will be available when you come, call the Tour Scheduling Office at (612) 870-3140. We look forward to serving you!
