Museum in a Box Program

Museum in a Box is a free resource that brings the University Museums’ collections to groups (academic, K-12, or community) with the intention of supporting scholastic learning outcomes through object-based learning, discussion, observation, and investigation. Drawing upon the Lora Robins Gallery and the Harnett Museum of Art, boxes are available in two ways: online downloads, which include the educational booklet and relevant activities, or in-person loans, which include the booklet, activities, and touchable specimens.

Loan Information

For in-person loans borrowers are responsible for picking up and returning the materials, unless otherwise arranged with URM staff. Reservations for in-person rentals are two-week periods and must be coordinated one month in advance.
