In light of current events, this issue of Musings discusses the significant role museums can play in promoting cultural understanding. Read about how a ninth grade class studies Hindu gods and rituals; ways in which teachers can seek out and learn from differences in their classrooms and communities; strategies for even very young children to acquire a sense of shared humanity; and how object-based learning gives adult visitors a sense of ownership of the Museum itself.
