> Museums.

> Students in grades 5 - 12 will be introduced to research collections
> located throughout campus by highlighting key discoveries in natural,
> cultural and human history. These self-guided field trips will be
> complemented by pre- and post-visit activity kits and on-line resources
> which will be made available for classroom use.
>
> Our questions are:
>
> Are other institutions doing similar programs? and what are you calling
> them?
>
> Which of you have a Discovery Room, Discovery Tour, Discovery Zone,
> or some other Discovery "project" for children and/or adults?
>
> Have you used or heard of Muse Project, Project Muse?
>
> We are posting this inquiry not to copy the name, but to hopefully avoid
> excessive duplication. You may reply on- or off-list. Also, please
