#k-12 classes

Calling all teachers and students! Let's recreate Winslow Homer's "Art-Students and Copyists in the Louvre Gallery, Paris" but in the Brooklyn Museum.

Classes K-12 are welcome to take part in our gallery visit programs – either in-person or virtually – to help students build critical thinking skills and make connections between visual art and history, current events, and their own lives.

Let's bring this scene into 2022 Brooklyn. Discover the ways our Guided and Self-Guided Gallery Visits can serve as a resource for your classroom and be sure to book your spring dates while availability lasts:
