| A teacher and students have fun learning about dinosaurs with Museum Loan artifacts! |
The Museum Loan Department, formerly School Loan, has more than 1,400 portable boxed exhibits containing handling objects and interpretive materials that relate to subjects in the arts, sciences, history, and humanities. The boxed exhibits contains artifacts, models, charts, reproductions of artwork, science experiments, classroom activities and mounted specimens of mammals, birds, and insects to enhance learning experiences. The collection also contains a number of CDs, DVDs, and a large slide collection, with slide projectors.
Downloadable catalogs are available below and list offerings and exhibit descriptions with related NJ Core Curriculum Content Standards to aid teachers in choosing exhibits that fit curriculum needs.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. In July and August, the department is open to the public on Wednesdays only. The easy-access entrance ramp is located at the rear of the museum, underneath the parking deck.
Boxed exhibits can be borrowed for two weeks and may be reserved up to two months in advance. Showcase exhibits, to be placed in a locked showcase, are available for a one-month loan. Workshop exhibits, which require preparation, are six-week loans. Pickup and return of exhibits are the responsibility of the borrower. Transportation must be in a closed vehicle.
