About Museum at Home

Museum at Home is an online web resource for Key Stage 2 and 3 students.  Established during the lock-down period of the COVID-19 outbreak, its primary aim is to facilitate cultural and heritage learning outside the classroom through short videos, activities and resource packs.

 

With education currently taking place at home and cultural heritage sites on lock-down, it is important to continue to introduce children and students to the value of arts, culture and heritage. This resource will provide parents with the language and resources to do so, and will offer children a beginner’s guide to understanding, describing and exploring objects and sites of international significance.

 

In each video, students will be introduced to a cultural artefact from a famous international collection, or to an object which they might recognise from their own home.  They will explore curriculum-rooted topics such as art and design, history and archaeology, and will be exposed to the language of cultural heritage in a simple and engaging form.

 

Follow-up activities on each topic will be provided, in addition to resources for parents in order to help them to engage with students on the topic of museums and cultural heritage.
