University Museums is foremost an educational resource for Iowa State University students, faculty, staff, and the Ames community. We strive to provide an environment that fosters visual literacy and learning, physical and intellectual access, and creativity.
The University Museums education staff maintains a close relationship with Iowa State University, local K-12 schools and the surrounding community. Our programs are tailored to this diverse group through the design and presentation of educational tours and programs and curriculum specific activities that meet the needs of each visitor.
The University Museums remain an indispensable component of Iowa State’s mission and asserts its role in the educational experience through interdisciplinary collaboration with diverse academic disciplines. This collaboration will broaden and deepen the academic experience for university students by unveiling new meanings, while respecting the integrity of the disciplines involved.
