Schedule a Class Visit (for College Faculty)
Types of class visits include:
- BCMA staff-led visits (we facilitate the class discussion);
- Instructor-led (instructor facilitates class discussion using BCMA objects and/or exhibitions); and
- Joint-led (staff and instructor facilitate class discussion together)
BCMA staff are happy to work with you to determine which type of class visit best suits your course, help select objects from the permanent collection, and develop a lesson plan. We offer class visits in the Museum’s Zuckert Seminar Room or galleries.
