Learning

Whether it’s art, history or science, Bristol Museum & Art Gallery can offer a range of one hour, half or full day learning sessions. We have twenty galleries over three floors and collections of regional, national and international importance.

Our most popular learning sessions include Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greeks and Rocks & Fossils.

Do pictures really tell stories?  If you are researching opportunities to teach Art, we have a portfolio of art workshops covering portraits, nature and landscape.

Look out for our new in-school learning sessions too.  From Spring 2017, we are taking to the road and can visit your school with our inspiring Anglo-Saxons workshop.

Our week long Dinosaur Takeover! events take place in both March (as part of British Science Week) and November and get fully booked – so plan ahead!  Working in partnership with Dino experts from the University of Bristol we deliver hands-on dino related learning activities. Also available are our new Dinosaur Discovery sessions and our latest exhibition Pliosaurus! where your pupils can dive into the Jurassic deep!
