Museum From Home

During the COVID-19 pandemic and shutdown of 2020 and beyond, The Rockwell created many online resources for parents and educators teaching remotely, or looking for extra activities to keep young minds and hands active. We hope they continue to be of use!

Virtual School Tours

We converted several of our most popular school tours into virtual learning resources for teachers and families! Find video tours, supplemental art projects and expert resources for a complete lesson plan.
