Tricia,

I used to run a museum-in-school program that prepared fourth and fifth graders to run the art gallery in their school.  I trained a director, assistant director, curator and facility manager as if they were actually running a real museum.  I'd love to talk more about it with you & maybe I can dig out some old curriculum materials.  Let me know!

>I am developing a program for kids to educate them about the role of a curator and how museums do what they do - collect, identify, interpret.  Has anyone done this sort of thing before? I have some preliminary ideas about how to go about it, but would appreciate any suggestions.
