We're on a mission to activate the world-shaping power of pop culture. From classroom to concert hall, we're weaving pop culture into the fabric of education. Discover how beats, pixels, and stories can transform learning and spark new perspectives. Here, education isn't about preserving culture—it's about activating your role in creating it.
Dive into a world where learning and pop culture collide! Our in-museum experiences offer a chance to play and discover: from action-packed camps to mind-expanding field trips and family programming. At MOPOP, your pop culture passions lead to "aha!" moments you never saw coming.
You can go your own way with a self-guided field trip, In-Museum Workshop, or both! Our education programs, innovative exhibitions, hands-on activities, and interactive workshops provide equitable access to all.
Perform. Explore. Express. Transform. MOPOP offers a space for creative youths to have fun while feeding their passions and learning skills that’ll serve them far beyond their camp program. From drag performances to engineering a fantasy world, creative up-and-comers can find it all at MOPOP Camps.
Homeschool Days are for creative homeschooler learners ages 6-14 and their educators! From hunting ghosts to making puppets, homeschool cool is now in session.
Sensory-Friendly Programs create an opportunity for adults and families to experience the museum with lowered volume and light levels and welcome anyone who can benefit from a low-sensory museum environment.
Created to help educators explore MOPOP from their own classroom, our outreach program consists of workshops and kits that connect pop culture and arts learning with STEM and Common Core State Standards.
These MOPOP Public Programs offer family-friendly programming elements.
