Looking at Art

Session Description

Join us to look at art in our paintings galleries or online and explore people and portraits with our Museum Teachers. This session is suitable for KS1 or KS2.

Contact us on 01223 332904 or email to book, or to discuss your needs.

Format of the session

Each museum-led session is scheduled for two hours. The group will be taught by a museum teacher in the paintings galleries for an hour, and then do a self-led session. We will provide printable resources you can use for this.

Our online session is scheduled for 30, 45 or 60 minutes depending on your preference and is led by a museum teacher and involves close-looking at objects and games. It uses similar content to our onsite session.

You can book a session here.

Or online sessions can be booked via this link and are available on Tuesday - Friday afternoons.

‘I really liked looking at the paintings, and I now look at art in a different way. The Museum teacher made it very easy to understand and it was so fun!’ – KS2 pupil
