Self-guided visits – schools
Category:
Bring learning to life with a visit to the museum and discover inspiring objects and stories.
Learning
Our programme for schools and older students has been adapted to adhere to government guidelines and to ensure your visit is safe and enjoyable.
The museum is temporarily closed in line with nationwide coronavirus restrictions. Once the national lockdown ends on 2 December, Greater Manchester will be subject to Tier 3 restrictions, so the museum will remain temporarily closed.
In the New Year we hope to welcome back formal education groups of all ages to give you and your students the opportunity to explore the museum's galleries on a self-guided visit.
If you have any questions, please get in touch. Call 0800 0478124 or email learning@scienceandindustrymuseum.org.uk.
