Workshops for schools
A typical visit begins with a welcome and introduction
around 10 am. Assuming a class size of around 30 children, the group
is then split into two. One group spends the morning touring the museum
using worksheets as a focus, and the other takes part in one of the
workshops listed below. In the afternoon the activities are reversed
and the two groups meet up again around 2.30 pm for the journey back
to school.
