Our Mission...
To create a retail catalog which would provide families worldwide with quality, entertaining, educational products that extend the museum experience into the home while, at the same time, supporting and improving the financial position of our non-profit member institutions. Our Founder...
Our commitment... The Museum Tour catalog assists parents and educators.. The catalog features quality, educational toys and museum gifts that stimulate curiosity, provide aesthetic pleasure and enhance the joy of learning. The catalog's enticing products are pieces of a "hands on" museum parents can take home. All products are selected by museums, aquariums, science centers, and educators for their ability to involve children in thought provoking and creative problem solving. (Products for group activities are most popular with frequent orders received from various camps and schools nationwide.) Twenty-two national science centers, zoos, and aquariums and a host of some of the nation's top manufacturers have joined together to fill our catalog with award winning, educational products that extend the museum experience into the home. Our catalog focus is on the arts and science and caters to a niche market of highly educated consumers. Since its inception, response to the catalog has been overwhelming and the 1998 and 1999 issue received the Parents' Choice Award. Now published annually, the Museum Tour catalog reaches almost 2 million homes. Though many adults purchase educational and inspirational products from their local museum gift shops, not everyone can travel nationally to peruse all of the centers. Our catalog features only the sort of items one could find in museum gift shops. Learning is a family affair. Throughout history parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents have taken responsibility to insure that their children become contributing members of society. The training tools they used were found in the kitchen, garage, and farmyard. Today, living in cities and competing globally in a rapidly changing scientific and technical world, we need modern props to assist our children's learning. Learning can be fun. Need help in creating fun, educational opportunities that won't burden you with volumes of facts or complicated instructions that can't be deciphered? The Museum Tour catalog was created to make it easy for adults to create enjoyable learning opportunities for children. |
