Scavenger Hunts

Are you the parent of a homeschooled student? Or just looking for an educational activity to do at the Museum.

The Scavenger Hunts were developed for elementary, middle, and high school aged students and are available in the Museum's gift shop or they can emailed out ahead of time. Designed as scavenger hunts, they require the visitor to explore museum galleries for answers to questions on the worksheets.

Once done, answers may be checked at the front desk.
