QUEENS COUNTY MUSEUM

Giving the past a future

Last updated January 4, 2010

Built in 1980, the Queens County Museum has become a vibrant and enduring testimonial to the cultural history of Queens County
…a history intrinsically linked to the sea and forest.


This page is designed specifically for the teacher or educator who wishes to bring outside learning experiences into the classroom or bring their classroom outside of the school setting. Many of our programs can either be enjoyed in the classroom or at the Museum. You will find a number of resources available to use as well as a listing of information which may be adapted to fit in with specific curriculum needs. You can request the resources to use yourself or book a Museum Staff member to come to your classroom as a guest speaker.

Also visit our Programs or Events page to see a listing of other in-house programs offered to the general public. We invite school classes and educators to participate in all programs free of charge and welcome suggestions for new or needed programming.

All programming can be adapted to specific age levels with the exception of our story book programs which are tailored to the Preschool, K-1.
