Secondary and Further Education Taught Sessions

The Museum is an inspiring setting where students can learn from real objects. Choose from a range of in-person and online interactive sessions which encourage pupils to look closely at objects and ask perceptive questions.
Please book to arrange your visit.

TAUGHT SESSIONS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE: We are currently recruiting for the position of Secondary Learning Officer, and are unable to take bookings for Secondary & FE taught sessions during this process. We will continue to book self-guided visits for Secondary & FE groups and look forward to welcoming your students to the museum soon.
