Our programme for schools and older students has been adapted to adhere to government guidelines and to ensure your visit is safe and enjoyable.
On selected dates from 9 November to 18 December, we are welcoming back formal education groups of all ages. We are currently able to offer the option to explore the museum’s galleries on a self-guided visit for you and your students.
Looking to book a visit beyond 18 December? Sign up to our Learning Newsletter to be contacted when more dates become available.
