This is not an art museum in the usual sense of the word. Here visitors will find beautiful objects whose forms originate in function. This is the nation's premier museum specializing in craft of the twentieth century. The American Craft Museum offers a full calendar of really fun workshops for families and individuals. Using commonly available materials, participants turn out some pretty neat products.
Educational activities reach out to families and organized groups alike.
School Programs for grades K through 12 introduce students to the Museum, craft, and special exhibitions. Before the visit, teachers receive materials to help make the most out of the program. Maximum group size is 35. School groups should have one chaperone for every six children. Featured works are drawn from the Museum's permanent collection, with many new acquisitions displayed for the first time.
