Help inspire your students with a tailor-made visit to our museum and art gallery where history, science and art is brought to life.

Sessions cost £1 per head (£2 for non-Derbyshire school pupils on day trips) and are individually-designed and led by our qualified staff.

Subjects covered include the Romans, science, history and citizenship and can be tailored for pupils at Key Stages 1, 2 and 3.

Children can handle an amazing range of objects including bison teeth, Roman pottery, items of uniform from the Derbyshire Police Collection and Stone Age axes.

They will also have the chance to tour our permanent collections including the award-winning Wonders of the Peak gallery which is full of the sights and sounds of Derbyshire going back millions of years. All sizes of groups can be catered for.

Sessions are tailored around the following:

• Time Detectives - understanding chronology and developing historical enquiry skills

• Everyday Romans - investigate daily Roman life through original objects and displays

• Art Explorers - practical art activities inspired by our collection

• Arresting Solutions - exploring citizenship with the help of the Derbyshire Police Collection

Teacher-led visits by schools can also be arranged, free of charge.
