About MDL

Museum content and educator resources free to use and share

Museums for Digital Learning (MDL) is a unique learning platform that provides K‑12 students and educators with authentic, curated museum collection resources. MDL content and interactive features are developed by museum education and curatorial professionals in consultation with classroom educators and technology consultants.

Who creates Resource Kits?

A growing number of museums of all disciplines regularly upload digitized objects and activity-filled resource kits. If we don’t have a resource kit you need, check back often. New museums continually join MDL and currently-participating museums add new resource kits often.
