Teachers and Educators

The Minnesota Marine Art Museum is committed to working with teachers to develop tours that meet specific curriculum needs in all subject areas. Please remember that the Museum is not just for art classes! We encourage teachers to work with us to design a tour that connects with any subject area. Your feedback and input are always welcome!
