Working with the local community

The communities team encourages new visitors to connect with a collection that spans human history and the entire globe.

In the last year, we have worked in partnership with community centres, women’s groups, offenders, mental health groups, looked after children and supplementary schools.

We are keen to work with new groups, so if you are a member or leader of a group who would like to explore the idea of visiting the Museum then please get in touch with us.
