ENHANCING THE EXPERIENCE EDUCATIONAL SPACES Museums are resources for community education, entertainment, and involvement, in addition to the galleries, the Spurlock Museum provides environments for performances, workshops, classroom enrichment, and family fun. The Max L. and Maxine M. Rowe Learning Center is a multipurpose center for individuals and groups. At computer carrels, visitors may learn more about the cultures and artifacts discussed in the galleries by browsing the Museum's Webbased database and multimedia CD-ROMs, Staff use the work area for preparing programs and researching collections. The space also serves for workshops, such as those in which local educators learn creative ways of using artifacts, in addition to books, to teach about culture. During these sessions, teachers also find out how they can build strong museum-school collaborations. The World Heritage Museum Guild Educational Resource Room contains media materials and educational collections that are available for loan to local educators. Topic-based kits enable teachers to directly utilize Museum objects and lesson plans to enhance required classroom curricula. 20 | MM SFURIOCK MUSlUft
