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 2010/11 workshop programme welcomes the arrival of new and exciting sessions at the Yorkshire Museum after its reopening on 1 August, 2010, with our refurbished "Labs" and new lunchroom.
