School and group visits

Pupils visiting with their class teacher as a freeflow visit can investigate:

• award-winning Wonders of the Peak gallery
• complete Victorian study of the eminent archaeologist William Boyd Dawkins. Furniture, scientific instruments, Greek pottery and more can be seen
• changing exhibitions featuring art and photography, as well as historical subjects.   

Activity sessions
To help make even greater use of the resources offered, museum-led activity sessions are available with a "hands on" approach. These allow pupils to handle and investigate genuine objects and explore the past in more detail. A small charge is made for this type of visit.

Time Detectives, Romans, Art Explorers and Arresting Solutions sessions are currently available. 

All sessions can be adapted for pupils with special needs and for different ages.

View the documents in the more information section below to find out which session is most appropriate for your pupils.

Please see the Health and safety section too.
