The Education Section of the University of Colorado Museum of Natural History offers a varied selection of object-based museum programs for students, teachers, and families. It is our mission to facilitate interactive and life-long learning, and to enhance the interaction between our audiences and the objects and ideas of the Museum.

Our programming and activities are visitor-centered and object-based; grounded in current education theory and practice, solid content research, and critical reflection; based on strategic planning, identified goals and objectives, and consistent evaluation; responsive to the needs of our audiences; and attractive, accessible, and fun.
