Welcome to Learning at York Museums Trust

Washing the Victorian way in our Spotless! workshop at York Castle Museum

We welcome school groups to York Art Gallery, York Castle Museum and the Yorkshire Museum & Gardens and offer help and advice to parties who wish to visit.

Each venue offers a programme of education workshops for groups from Early Years up to Key Stage 4, covering art, history and science across the sites.

The 2009/10 workshop programme welcomes the arrival of new and exciting sessions and we have an outreach programme at The Yorkshire Museum which goes into operation after it closes from November 1 until it reopens on Yorkshire Day, August 1, 2010.
