How has the programming schedule changed?
​
​All programs will be cancelled or postponed while the Museum is closed. Please check our events page for additional scheduling updates.
​
Museums are also vital cultural anchors, which we interpret as a responsibility to facilitate collaboration, educate beyond barriers, and share critical knowledge with communities near and far.
​
In response to school cancellations, the Museum is making educators available via video conferencing to lead in-gallery instruction with classrooms free of charge. To schedule a virtual classroom experience, contact educate@walterandersonmuseum.org
As an additional educational resource, the Museum will publish a series of videos connecting the collection to state standards in art, science, social studies, and language arts.​
