During my last visit to the Brooklyn Museum I realized they have an extensive collection of period rooms! I love #periodrooms , but they often feel a bit dated; if you were going to make these spaces more enlivened and educational, what would you do? #whatwouldyousay #museumeducation #periodrooms #cupolahouse #decorativearts #interiors #18thcentury #learningisfun #nyc #brooklyn #museums #colorschemeonpoint #fauxmarble #diningisanart #dinnertime #dininghall

Students, I think all of you might find this article interesting, particularly as we begin our  journey to better understand the role of museums and education!

The #exhibition #label that accompanied a #maxhosabyladuma sweater. How would you rewrite the label to be more informative/educational? How could you use the sweater as an educational tool?#museumeducation #museumlabels #learningisfun #learningisfundamental #gradschool #whatwouldyousay #patterns #knitwear #ladumangxokolo #southafrican #southafricanart #nyc #museums #fashionasart #xhosa #xhosastyle #fashion #globalfashion
