Mission Statement of Education Department

The mission of the education department is to provide inquiry-based, educative experiences for adults and youth, which are interactive, hands-on and engaging. Programs strive to interpret the natural and cultural history of Nebraska and to provide greater physical and intellectual access to the museum's collections through the creation of dialogues between visitors and objects.
