Picture Books of the Past: Celebrating M&G’s Collection

The Museum & Gallery turns 75 this year! To celebrate we’ll be taking a journey into the past to highlight some of our most fascinating paintings.

For example, did you know that painters in the 1400s used egg yolks to create their paints? Yep, the same kind you eat for breakfast! Join us for this wonderful adventure through the ages!

Museum on the Move

M&G loves opening up the world of art through our unique Museum on the Move program by bringing museum learning to your classroom! Our educators are available to come to your classroom to teach and bring all the related materials for each lesson and arts-based STEAM units. Or you can choose to use digital Museum on the Move lessons in your classroom or remotely.

 

In-Person Lessons:

These 30- to 60-minute lessons are not only customized to accommodate individual classroom needs, but also integrate art with the core subject areas, and meet the South Carolina state standards and visual arts standards. Each lesson is taught by our experienced and skilled museum educators, who bring everything needed for the interactive lesson with them. See what educators say about this program!
