Departments using the Hudson Museum include anthropology, English, education, art, and history. One University of Maine math professor also regularly brings his class to the Hudson Museum to study the variety of numeration systems used by the cultures represented here. Another important educational service provided by the Hudson Museum is Docent Training . Our school tours are led by our Education Specialist and by volunteers from the community. Docents attend lectures by experts in the field of anthropology and discuss methods of presenting educational programs.
Training continues with regular meetings and field trips throughout the year.
Many docents find their museum experience to be powerfully enriching.
