ASK A CURATOR DAY 2013!

Last year, Bayside students participated in Ask a Curator Day, where museum from all around the world took the time to answer questions about their jobs, museums, the collections, science, technology, and more! You will have the chance to do the same this year, and Chicago's Field Museum is one of the museums participating in this fantastic web event. In November we will be visiting the Field Museum to explore the Ancient Egypt, Geology exhibits, and other fantastic science and history exhibits!

Below, you can watch Brain Scoop's video on the Field Museum to learn more and take a look at the list of other, science, technology, and natural history museums participating in Ask a Curator Day. For Wednesday, you need to think of a question you would like to ask the Field Museum or one of the other museums on the list!

Get those thinking caps on!
