Customized Programs
The Vanderbilt Museum is able to draw upon a wide range of expertise. Programs beyond those listed may be available by special arrangement. These can be customized to suit the needs of particular classes or groups. We have been especially successful in developing programs for both gifted students and those with special needs.
Outreach
Many of our school programs can be adapted for students who are unable to visit the Museum. The Vanderbilt Museum staff can send a representative to your school to provide a program for one or two classes at a time.
