Museum Education Workshop

Presented by the Kentucky Museum and Heritage Alliance

In association with the Downing Museum, South Union Shaker Village and The Brown-Pusey House.

Join us for a day-long workshop at the beautiful Downing Museum as we explore the subject of museum education. Our institutional success is intimately tied to our ability to educate our communities. This day will provide an opportunity to think about the importance of the subject, while discussing with colleagues who work in a variety of disciplines, including history, art and environmental education.

Topics include:

• Museum Education 101
• State of the Museum Education Field
• Panel Discussion of Case Studies
• Implementation and Training

Registration Cost:

• KMHA members: $15
• Non-members: $25
