From the Carol M. Highsmith's America Project of the Library of Congress, "The Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum located on the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus in Minneapolis, Minnesota has been a teaching museum for the university since 1934. This building, designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry, was completed in 1993."

This issue of The History Teacher reaches outside of the classroom to explore how veteran and pre-service teachers have coordinated with cultural institutions such as museums, archives, and historic sites to develop inventive teaching techniques. Timothy Patterson and Christine Woyshner begin with "History in Other Contexts: Pre-Service History Teachers' Field Placements at Cultural Institutions," followed by "Assessing the Effect of Historic Site-Based Professional Development on History Teaching and Learning" by Kelly Schrum, Karen Kortecamp, Jennifer Rosenfeld, Kevin Briscoe, and Kathleen Steeves.
