“The children were able to learn so much as well as extending their own knowledge and understanding...it was one of the most enjoyable museum visits we have been on”

Teacher, Rimrose Primary School

 

 

Across our two museums we offer a series of engaging pre-booked workshops led by our team of experienced facilitators and artists.
