Teachers, discover how the Bowers permanent and special exhibitions connect directly to the State of California content standards and your classroom teaching. Using artifacts as a primary resource helps to turn abstract ideas into concrete and improve students awareness of cultures around the world. Integrate the arts into your lesson plans and prepare your students for an enriching field trip next year.
