Workshops
Our workshops use the best of the city’s museum collections to enhance the curriculum.
Whether it’s experimenting with gears, levers and pulleys, hands-on sculpture-making or meeting an Ancient Egyptian, we have a workshop to inspire your group and their learning.
Workshops run at all six of our sites – they include a range of whole-day and half-day sessions and are primarily designed for KS1 and KS2 participants, unless specified otherwise. Browse through the list below to find a workshop that meets your learning objectives – and if you’d like to know more, just get in touch.
