Of these objects, 3,121 of them are on view in the Museum now, 81,644 of them are available online, and there are 4,031 recent acquisitions. 

To Cope with the current events of COVID-19, the RISD Museum provides free access to digital images of public domain materials in the collection for any purpose. We want our collection, scholarship, and interpretive content to be accessed, distributed, and reused by everyone.

This artifact is connected to learner environment because I built this lesson plan to use a virtual environment to tour an artistic cultural museum.

I chose this artifact because it is a great way for students to leave their normal virtual classroom and attend a tour in a virtual museum. Students will explore their creative identity and begin to develop an understanding of relationships through perspective and diversity. RISD is very cultured with its exhibits, share how you were able to find inspiration in artists and your connection with other students.
