Salisbury Museum offers a varied Learning Programme for pre-schools, schools, colleges, universities, and community groups.
Our museum’s range of facilitated sessions available for primary schools is as follows:
- The Amesbury Archer
- Old Sarum and The Normans
- Pottery – Archaeology and Art
- Romans
- Saxons
- Surviving the Stone Age
Sessions can be adapted to all Key Stages and abilities. We welcome SEN enquiries, community groups and other organisations.
The museum’s collections support a wide range of subjects. It is worth asking if you have a topic which you think we may be able to assist with.
Our collections are also a rich resource for any visual arts project for any age or level of study.
Our facilitated sessions are hands-on, promoting learning through enquiry.
For GCSE, A-Level and other post-16 students our collections support a wide range of study areas — Archaeology, Art (painting, ceramics & textiles) and History of Art.
In August 2021 our newly refurbished Fashion Gallery was opened by special guest Dame Zandra Rhodes. Featuring over 250 years of fashion, the gallery is a dynamic new interpretation of the collection which explores our relationship with clothes. Get in touch to see how a visit to this stunning new gallery could make your school topic absolutely fabulous!
