Moore was a passionate proponent of art education. He established a “school” at Tiffany and was enlisted in 1879 by The Metropolitan Museum of Art to advise them on the founding of their school. Nichols wrote that an “educated sense of the beautiful” should be available to all and, “in the past, artistic culture was the privilege of the few; now it is the opportunity of the many,” views wholeheartedly embraced by Moore.
