"Does turning more pages or memorizing lists of facts really signify the acquisition of learning?"  Click here to learn more about the philosophy behind Mummies and Masterpieces from Director, Lauren Perlman. 

Mummies and Masterpieces has been creating museum programs for over 16 years. We are based in Illinois and New Jersey, and available worldwide.

Mummies and Masterpieces enhances learning through museum collections and consists of slide discussions, hands-on art workshops and/or museum visits.  We service religious schools, secular schools, religious institutions, community centers, day care programs, park districts, libraries, high schools, colleges, graduate schools, adult education programs, hospitals, and nursing homes. Our programs take place at your educational institution, at a local museum or both.  The programs can be one-time experiences or a series of workshops. For more information on prices and length of each workshop, please click here.
