K-12

We believe art education is a powerful tool for student growth and learning. Our interdisciplinary programs are designed to unlock creativity, explore multiple perspectives, and support students in finding multiple possible solutions to problems. Through observing and analyzing our collection of wildlife art students can investigate themes of history, science, culture, nature, conservation and much more.

The National Museum of Wildlife Art is dedicated to making our art collection and programs as accessible as possible to educational groups. With this in mind, all youth ed tours and school groups, pre-K through grade 12, are offered free of charge. In addition to the grade level lessons posted on this website, we are always eager to discuss the educational goals of your particular class, and customize our offerings whenever possible. We ask that teachers and group leaders schedule at least two weeks in advance.”

We look forward to working with you and your students!
