What's On for Tertiary Schools

At ACM, we help students unpack the narratives behind objects through inquiry-based approaches and discussions. At the tertiary level, the museum’s collection offers a global perspective on history and art, and encourages students to look at the connections between cultures. 

Our programmes complement academic coursework and research projects, supporting a holistic way of learning.
