My project is basically just an information gathering one. I am
taking a course called "museums in education" offfered in the
Curry School of Education at the University of Virginia. I am
looking for information on the history of these schools, their
description of the interaction between the school and the
museum, as well as the effect of the combination on various
factors; learning environment, curriculum development, museum
collection plans, administration, etc.
