School Visits

We offer a range of history and art workshops based on the national curriculum, to extend classroom learning and promote both knowledge and skills in a hands-on way. These workshops can be experienced through a visit to the museum or delivered as part of our outreach programme. The number of workshops offered is constantly evolving, including workshops linked to specific exhibitions, but please do contact us if you are looking for a more bespoke experience.
