The Addison Community Ambassadors, the museum’s Phillips Academy student group, aims to create community at the Addison in conversation around responses to collections and exhibitions. Through group discussion, hands-on activities in the galleries and Museum Learning Center, and meetings with all levels of museum staff, Ambassadors learn about the Addison, the history of museums, and theories of teaching and learning, and then design interactive programming for all audiences.
