Faculty Use of Museum Resources in their Teaching
The Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum invites Bowdoin classes from all disciplines to utilize the museum as a resource. With an extensive collection of over 41,000 objects, including photographs, films, ethnographic and historic objects, and contemporary Inuit art, the Arctic Museum can enrich the study of a variety of subjects.
At the Arctic Museum we are passionate about developing creative, object-based experiences tailored to specific course themes. If you would like to incorporate the Arctic Museum into your class, or if you are interested in brainstorming ways to use the museum’s holdings, please email the museum at PMAM@bowdoin.edu. We are happy to support your learning goals through exhibit tours and critiques, close studies of selected objects, as well as your own ideas of ways to approach and use the museum’s resources.
