Descriptive Entry

These records document education activities primarily prepared to accompany exhibitions. Activities include drawing, question-and-answer, and hands-on exercises. The projects are designed to engage families and children, as they wander through an exhibit, encouraging closer examination of the cultural significance of objects or techniques used to produce them.
