The British Museum's collection spans more than two million years of human history and culture, all under one roof.
Students can engage and experience the unique collection through resources, sessions and gallery visits. With galleries full of objects to support history topics such as ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, British prehistory and Benin, the Museum is the perfect place for your students to find out about the past.
Displays highlighting objects from the modern world offer an opportunity to find out about the world around us and inspire communication, artistic and citizenship skills.
The new Energy Centre Programme, part of the Museum's Masterplan, will support our path to net zero and requires major infrastructure work. As a result, there will therefore be changes to our schools offer.
Update on Schools offer
Schools offer update
We have some exciting changes happening that support our path to net zero as part of the Museum's Masterplan. This will mean some reductions in public programmes, including facilitated school programmes, in-person school group visits and lunch and locker capacity at the Museum whilst key infrastructure work is carried out.
The Museum recognises that this reduction in capacity may lead to some disappointment for schools and students, however, the Museum's learning team are working hard to bring new programming opportunities for schools later in the year.
