Interactive Learning Trunks. These trunks are brimming with real artifacts, replicas, artworks, projects and information designed for hands-on learning.
Many trunks contain audio-visual materials that further enhance the learning experience.
You and your students can have fun while studying the diverse cultures, art and history of our state. Treasure Trunks are FREE of charge to New Mexico schools and organizations. Each trunk is delivered by Museum staff to the first educator in the fall, who then passes it to the next educator in their school or nearby community. In this way the trunk is passed between many educators in an area or region until the end of the school year when Museum staff retrieves the trunk from the last site. Each Treasure Trunk is loaned for a two week period per request.
