The Berman for the Classroom
Classroom Spaces
The Berman Museum has two spaces faculty can request for classroom use: Classroom 016 and Works on Paper Study Room. Classroom 016 is perfect for film screenings, as it has a large screen and can accommodate up to 40 people. The classroom is also available for larger classes working with pulled pieces from the collection. The Works on Paper Study Room is a good fit for seminars of up to 12 people. It has a large table for discussion and breakaway areas for partner work.
Accessing the Collection
The Berman Museum has over eight thousand pieces in its permanent collection. Classes can come to view these pieces to expand their understanding of a time period, movement, region, or more. Contact Catherine Sirizzotti, Collections Manager, to pull the art that best suits your subject material.
Class Tours
Faculty at Ursinus and other local colleges can request self-led or guided tours of the museum for classes with the adjacent form. Visiting the exhibitions in person stimulates students’ interdisciplinary connections between class material, art, and ways the visual medium contributes to a conversation.
