“It’s great for the kids to see such works of art. And the staff are amazing” KS2 teacher
In this world-class gallery and museum, pupils can immerse themselves in contemporary and historic works of art, natural history, military history, geology and archaeology. Alongside outstanding works of art, objects on display include dinosaur footprints, historic military uniforms and a 2.5 metre sturgeon.
The gallery runs a lively programme of activities and events for all ages, linked to the collections and temporary exhibitions.
We offer the following topics for schools. Please bear in mind that these sessions are guidelines but can be adapted to suit your pupils’ ages and SEND requirements.
