Museum Learning Center Portfolios

MLC Portfolios are designed to familiarize educators with the subjects, themes, artworks, and artists in the Addison collection, inspire layered connections with curricula and course topics, and foster probing and enlightening class discussions.

Drawing from the museum’s nearly 17,000 paintings, photographs, sculpture, drawings, prints, works on paper, decorative arts, and media works, the Portfolio themes and sub-themes above are a starting point to planning your MLC visit. Additionally, Portfolio Guides and contact with education staff can help you make artwork selections and develop connections for your class or project.
