How do you get a person age six to explore and learn about heritage for longer than five minutes?
Give them a Museo Pack! Museo Packs are backpacks with activities designed for children ages 6 to
12. Each Museo Pack has a theme and contains a series of intrinsic learning activities. The packs are
developed to inspire, motivate, and teach children (and their parents!) about the history and culture of
Banff National Park by bringing history and culture alive. What's another bonus? Museo Packs are
portable! Children can follow their parents
through the Museum's galleries with the
packs, resulting in families learning together.
Museo Packs are developed by the Whyte
Museum of the Canadian Rockies'
Education and Interpretation Department.
The packs are available year round at the
Museum's front desk and are included with
Museum admission. There are two copies of
each themed pack available for use (within
Museum only). Museo packs currently
available are Glaciers are Go!, Art Adventures!,
and The Adventures of Peter and Catharine! |
