Stories Around the World

Participants learn about specific Museum objects and the oral traditions that add context and meaning to their places in culture. Groups may choose to hear tales from a variety of cultures, from a single area of the world, or on a specific topic. A 30-minute game or craft session may be added for free.

Theme: Oral Traditions

Stories not only entertain us, but they reveal to us a people’s values and beliefs. They are the perfect complement to the discussion of individual artifacts, bringing the objects to life within a fuller cultural context.
