Additional information
Children will work in three groups. To get the most from your workshop please organise children into groups before your workshop begins.
Each group will require support from at least one adult. Recommended ratio: one adult for every six children.
You are welcome to take photographs. We’d love you to share pictures of your school trip with us on social media.
Eating and drinking is not permitted in the museum apart from the school lunch room. Crumbs attract pests and our collections are far too precious to be attacked!
