Mission Statement: Expanding our world through art |
The actions we take today will help shape and mold a future for our children. Children learn in a stimulating environment. The Bellefonte Museum of Centre County is for families.
The mission of the museum is to stimulate curiosity, imagination and creativity, and to promote lively and thoughtful participation by children and parents.
The museum is a museum of the humanities with subjects as diverse as art, history, architecture, natural history and physical science. The museum setting, the Historic Linn House, is integral to the mission.
The Bellefonte Museum for the Families of Centre County has a significant opportunity to offer our program of enrichment to families in Central Pennsylvania. No other local organization has the same mission. We are facing a time of change, a time when we must have new ideas and new ways to solve problems. Exposure to the arts, stimulating imagination and inspiring creativity, can help young people grow to be new problem solvers.
