Academic programs

Flinders University Museum of Art is working in partnership with staff across the University to bring the collections to the core of teaching practice. Employing object-based learning (OBL) as a model, our work is contributing to emerging pedagogy in this area internationally.

Comprising over 8,000 objects, the FUMA collections constitute a unique and valuable educational resource. They offer myriad starting points to deepen engagement with discipline-specific knowledge as well as opportunities to enhance transferable skills such as observation, communication and critical and creative thinking.

Explore the Object-based Learning Toolkit for information and ideas on how to bring art to teaching and learning.
