Junior Curators Program
This program is designed to give your students a behind the scenes look at what it looks like to work at a museum! By the end of the program you will have a finished museum exhibit to display in the Museum’s Community Gallery, or to display in your school!
There are 4, 1 hour sessions, with optional assignments and homework built into the program. This can be scheduled with your classroom in a way that works best for you. Museum staff can come to you, students can come to the museum, or a mix of both. For more information, contact our Programs Manager at bblanchard@bcutah.gov.
