Allowable materials in your art museum galleries

  • 1.  Allowable materials in your art museum galleries

    Hi fellow educators, 

    I'm reaching out today to ask what kinds of materials are allowable in your art museum galleries. For example, pencil, paper, clipboards for sketching--pretty standard. . . a-okay. What about paper clips, chenille stems, colored pencils, self-contained watercolor brush, etc.? Do the kinds of materials stretch when an activity is facilitated vs. autonomous? If your museum has a list, I'd love to see it!

    Thank you!
