Sharing the Museum's treasures with Bay Area schoolchildren is a key aspect of our mission. Each year, hundreds of school groups visit the museum. Outreach is also enhanced by our teaching kit program. The kits are loaned to Bay Area teachers as well as educators from outlying areas. The Museum uses the Internet to showcase programs and disseminate information to a larger audience of schoolchildren and their teachers. Here, (left), children participate in a Family Day program in the Museum's gallery.
Supporting the University of California's core teaching mission is a high priority for the Hearst Museum. Faculty curators teach more some 400 undergraduates each year, in up to 16 courses annually, in the fields of Classics, Anthropology, Art History, Near Eastern Studies, Linguistics, and Integrative Biology. Here, (right), students from Peoples of the Andes (Anthropology 122) meet in the Museum to view ancient Peruvian pottery and textiles and listen to lecture by Professor Christine Hastorf, the Museum's Curator of South American Archaeology.
