Indiana State Museum Resources

Here are a few ways to bring the museum to your students.

  • TEACHING TUESDAYS – These hands-on activities are things your students can do at home with a little help from their favorite adult. Maybe one of these activities will connect with something you taught this year?
  • SYMPHONY IN COLOR – Connect your students to these student artists by asking them to pick a favorite song and create an art piece inspired by the music, using our online gallery as inspiration.
  • DEMONSTRATIONS – See demonstrations based on the activities we usually offer in the museum or even have your students try them at home.
  • BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEOS – Get a behind-the-scenes look at our incredible collection in this video series.
  • LIFE OF AN ARTIFACT – Learn how an object becomes part of our museum collection – great for older students!
