THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF EDUCATION
The National Museum of Education™ is the natural outgrowth of the National Gallery for America’s Young Inventors, which has been in existence since 1996 and is the major program of the former Partnership for America’s Future, Inc., established in 1988. This new museum will build on the success of the National Gallery and will include its archives of young scientists and the recognition and archival techniques that have honored America’s greatest K-12 young inventors and provide a home for all education. It will include all educational disciplines and will archive, enshrine, honor and preserve America’s past educational endeavors, as well as establish a welcoming environment for new techniques, training and growth for educators of the future. Our nation has achieved and maintained its strength by three forms of fundamental institutions: families, schools, and the constitutional form of government. The National Museum of Education™ will provide a way to elevate American pride in its educational systems, as well as inspire its visitors to continue the tradition of educational excellence in America. www.nmoe.org
