Program Choices
Discovering Seattle Stories (Grades K - 2)
Students are the storytellers using primary sources to explore Seattle's past. Students are introduced to working with artifacts through observation in small groups. Artifacts are then shared with the class while telling a story of Seattle's history.
Cracking the History Code (Grades 3 - 5)
Students become code breakers by gathering evidence from primary sources to reveal the stories of the region’s past. Students work in teams to discover the meaning behind an artifact. Each team is given a locked box and artifact, during the program students collect information about their artifact, including supporting photographs and documents. Teams share their findings at the end of the session.
Self-Guided Visit
Explore the museum with your students and chaperones. MOHAI will provide activities for our Essential Seattle Exhibit or you can design your own. Make sure the exhibit you want to see is open when you are coming. Some galleries are closed occasionally for special events.
Note: Advance Booking is required. MOHAI does not guarantee admission to student groups of 10 or more without reservations.
