For all school groups, a visit to the Museum is inquiry-based. We ask students to respond to materials they see on their Museum tour while involving them in a conversation about the meaning and relevance of the objects they see, stories they hear and experiences they participate in.

An IHMEC visit is meant to engage students and spark their interest. If we succeed, students will leave with more questions than answers, as well as a desire to learn more.
