Death is an undeniable and unavoidable truth. It permeates all aspects of our lives, including the museum experience. Death in museums is visible not only within the biological artifacts but also in the subsequent discussions between visitors and educators. Museum staff can often feel uncomfortable and unprepared for conversations about death, specifically with child visitors.

Join BCMA Program Manager Lorenda Calvert for this education webinar on navigating sensitive topics with children. Learn about the five developmental stages and what they mean for understanding death while adding some tools in your toolbox on how best to facilitate conversations about sensitive topics.
