Education

As an art education institution, the Toledo Museum of Art strives to provide access to works of art in the Museum and information about them. The Museum endeavors to educate and inspire by reaching out to our community. We achieve this by Teaching Visual Literacy, engaging lifelong learners of all ages and providing learning experiences in a variety of formats.

Opportunities include classes and workshops, tours, gallery experiences, hands-on activities, lectures, a partnership with the University of Toledo Department of Art, and a 90,000-volume art Reference Library. Explore all of our educational offerings and resources below.

Visual Literacy
