The Contemporary Arts Center's Sara M. & Patricia A. Vance Education Center: The UnMuseum® represents a groundbreaking new concept in museum education for children, schools and families. Occupying the entire sixth floor of the new Lois & Richard Rosenthal Center, the UnMuseum is a gallery of participatory art designed to offer children and parents an enjoyable experience with the most innovative art of our time.

Introducing audiences to contemporary art, the UnMuseum reaches far beyond gallery guides and learning stations by commissioning first-rate artists to create works of art especially for young audiences. Children, along with their teachers and parents, can experience and interpret works of art on a multitude of levels. The UnMuseum presents a variety of programming to serve the needs of wide audiences, including hands-on art projects, school tours, after-school clubs, family days and other programs that serve young people.

Weekday mornings, the UnMuseum becomes an experimental "classroom" where school groups have a unique, multi-layered experience with art, led by a trained guide.

On weekends and afternoons, the UnMuseum becomes an inviting environment where children, parents or caregivers share an enjoyable art experience together.

Not just for children, the interactive installations in the UnMuseum appeals to visitors of all ages and levels of familiarity with art. The UnMuseum is a model for museum education for the art world at large.
