Let our experienced team of Museum Educators introduce your students to a world of discovery. Drawing from fine art, history and natural science collections, as well as special exhibitions, the Berkshire Museum is dedicated to creating a meaningful educational experience for its young visitors.

A full schedule of programs featuring inquiry-based discussions, objects from the collections, interactions with live animals, and cooperative group activities, are designed to engage participants in hands-on, minds-on experiences that delight and educate.

These programs are available for school groups, scout troops, homeschool groups, and groups from youth organizations.

Museum Educator-led Programs are available Monday - Friday with starting times from 10 am to 3:30 pm for groups of 10-25 students. Advanced reservations required.
