IN-PERSON FIELD TRIPS
Educational programs at the Morgan Library & Museum help students become self-reliant seekers of knowledge and critical thinkers. Field trips are tailored to fit your current classroom curriculum. The Morgan's “Exploring with the Morgan” programs in the arts and humanities complement your school curriculum by engaging students in the observation of primary sources and are aligned with NYS Learning Standards, the Next Generation Learning Standards, and Common Core. The Morgan’s focus on multiculturalism is highlighted in our core programs below.
• The “Colors of the World” program combines art and history. Students will learn how traditional art and early manuscripts relate to exploration and the early Eurasian and African trade routes.
• The “Reading a Building” program explores Morgan’s library. Students will create a character portrait of the American financier.
• The “Myths and Symbols” program explores the history of symbols. Students will use critical thinking skills to examine how visual arts use symbolism to construct personal and cultural narratives.
