Education

The Mexican Museum is proud to continue its long-established Education Programs serving San Francisco's schools and local libraries, providing learners and researchers with resources and opportunities to learn about Mexican and Latin American art, culture, and traditional practices and crafts.

Every program offered by TMM is designed to make our rich collection of artworks, artifacts, and research from Mexico and beyond both accessible and relevant to participants from a diversity of learning backgrounds and needs.

TMM Program offerings currently include a wide variety of In-person and virtual experiences and classroom activities designed for our Bay Area partners.
