A visit to the Museum is a fun and inspirational day out for young people. You can plan a trip to include aspects of the science, geography or art curricula.
Our galleries can cover topics from volcanoes and earthquakes through to evolution and human biology. Our workshops, science shows and self-led activities are for all ages and levels.
These pages can help you plan a day out at either of our Museums. Please visit our School visits at South Kensington, London page and School visits to the Museum in Tring, Hertfordshire for more information.
We also have a range of learning resources, virtual workshops and online activities that can support your teaching.
