  The Museum provides a vital forum for exploring the built environment through an active and diverse schedule of education programs. Through engaging symposia, lectures, films, family festivals, outreach programs, and more, the Museum reaches a broad audience and encourages learning about, and discussion of, achievements in the building arts.
