Educational Mission
The Boston Museum will broaden and deepen the appreciation of Boston as a "living classroom" and campus for thematic learning through partnerships with other historic sites and cultural institutions, sharing best practices and working in concert to create new programming and enrichment activities for educators and students throughout the region. We will also reach out to national audiences through extensive use of electronic links and new media technology.
The Boston Museum will be a transformative educational experience for learners of all ages and styles. Its galleries will use a wide variety of approaches aimed at engaging families, school children and adults at all stages of life. Most importantly, the stories visitors encounter will have personal resonance, whether of ancestors arriving on Long Wharf or their own physical relationship to the place of Boston.

Famous quotes containing the words educational and/or mission:
“The educational system in large countries will always be utterly mediocre, for the same reason that the cooking in large kitchens is mediocre at best.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“... [a] girl one day flared out and told the principal “the only mission opening before a girl in his school was to marry one of those candidates [for the ministry].” He said he didn’t know but it was. And when at last that same girl announced her desire and intention to go to college it was received with about the same incredulity and dismay as if a brass button on one of those candidate’s coats had propounded a new method for squaring the circle or trisecting the arc.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
