The construction of a new education center to offer enhanced humanities programming, particularly for school-age audiences, at the Maine State Museum in Augusta, Maine.

This project seeks a $95,000 challenge grant to complete capital fundraising for a new education center to be built within the Maine State Museum in Augusta, Maine. The center will transform the museum's already well-regarded educational work by giving it important new capacities and versatility. The center will provide essential specially-designed space and technologies to allow museum educators to better deliver humanities-based, interactive 21st century learning opportunities to some 50,000 visitors annually.
