We love hearing the sounds of laughter and excitement from kids exploring Roberson. The final stretch of the school year is filled with that enjoyment as a large number of school groups are making visits to experience the fun and unique learning opportunities we offer.
Roberson has been recognized for "Excellence in Education" by both the Museum Association of New York and the New York State Museum for our programs, and it is a large part of our success. The opportunities to enjoy the Roberson experience extend to our summer camps, beginner pottery courses, exhibitions, and special events.
Explore this edition of Confluence for a glimpse of what we have planned, and be sure to take part in the fun.
