Experience Days
Take advantage of our Experience Days to combine a workshop at King’s Museum with one at the Special Collections Centre. The workshops complement each other to enrich and deepen children’s learning.
Creative Curators Experience Day
A classroom exhibition is a fantastic way to bring any school topic to life and to focus pupils’ learning. You can create a class exhibition as part of any school topic. The experience of creating an exhibition enables pupils to demonstrate and to share their learning with others, while fully engaging in an enterprising whole class project. The project runs alongside your class topic, is pupil led and entirely interdisciplinary in its approach to creative learning.
A resource pack is available to provide you with the tools that you need to create an exciting and interactive class display. The pack is divided into sessions marking the stages of the process, complete with teacher’s notes, activities and resources. Teachers are advised to complete Sessions 1 and 2 before attending the workshops. Workshops offered by King’s Museum and the Special Collections Centre provide your class with the unique opportunity to learn with the experts and examine real gallery displays.
Ancient Egypt Experience Day
King’s Museum: Death on the Nile
What do real Egyptian scarab beetles look like up close? How many shabti statues would a Queen have in her tomb? How easy is it to wrap a body in linen strips? Find out answers to these questions and more at King’s Museum.
Special Collections Centre: Discovering Ancient Egypt
Put yourself in the shoes of a Victorian Egyptologist discovering the wonders of Ancient Egypt. How are you going to show the marvellous engravings and paintings on a sarcophagus? Remember there were no digital cameras in those days!
