Give students a unique experience at TMORA. From our unusual exterior to our one-of-a-kind collections, TMORA offers opportunities for a Twin Cities field trip like no other.
TMORA offers:
–Interactive guided museum tours at TMORA: Trained Museum Guides lead students through participatory tour experiences, supporting visual literacy development and encouraging creativity. We’ll address MN academic standards in Visual Arts, Language Arts, Social Studies, and Science. Current exhibitions include Avant-Garde Architecture of the Soviet Era: Photography by William Brumfield; Monumental Soviet Paintings; and Say No to War: Political Cartoons by Ukrainian and Russian Artists.
–Activity-based experiences at our Education Center: Small groups of students rotate through our exhibition space and makerspace, participating in a range of gallery activities (drawing, movement, discussion, writing) and then creating an artwork inspired by what they’ve experienced in the gallery. Activities are primarily designed to connect with Visual Arts, Language Arts, and Social Studies.
–In-class workshops to support implementation of MN state standards in your classroom: Workshops typically involve object-based learning designed around art and artifacts from our portable Education Collection, and/or connect to current exhibitions. Themes include: folktales and fairy tales; immigration; art in times of conflict; storytelling through art; culture through crafts; and mushrooms in art and ecology. We are always happy to develop new workshops based on educator requests. If you’d like to request a tailored lesson plan for your classroom, reach out to kmckay@tmora.org.
