School Visits with Museum Guides

School visits with museum guides include in-depth conversations around three or four artworks in the museum. Recognising that students benefit from multiple ways of engaging with artworks, we incorporate activities such as writing, drawing, and small-group discussions into our visit plans. Visits can be tailored to meet your needs, based on the topics you are teaching or wish to reinforce through the museum visit.

School visits with museum guides are available in both English and Arabic.
