Perceptarium: Experimental teaching gallery, 1977-1980

These folders include proposals, meeting minutes, correspondence, evaluations, research, children's artwork, and other materials. The Perceptarium was meant to be an experimental teaching space in the Museum. Using art objects and media, Museum educators would encourage close looking, connections and deep learning. The Perceptarium was inpsired by James Sullivan's article of the same name that called for academic Art Departments to revolutionize learning by rejecting tradition. He called for this revolution in learning as a direct line from the 1960s student protests.
