LEARNING
With thanks to the National Lottery Heritage Fund and National Lottery players, we are entering an ambitious project to develop a new museum for Watford at Watford Town Hall. During this period we have had to close the Watford Museum location at Benskin House to focus on preparing the museum for this move. This means that School visits to the museum are not available at this time.
While we are closed, we are developing some in-class presentations and trails to offer. We are excited to share those details as soon as they are available. In the meantime, check out our online learning resources, and those listed below.
Further learning resources can be found here.
Loan & Resource Boxes
The Museum is entering an exciting phase to relocate to Watford Town Hall. During this time we are reviewing our learning offers and as a result are pausing our Loan Boxes and Resource Boxes. More information on our plans here: Museum Consultation | Watford Town Hall Quarter | Watford, England
We look forward to sharing details regarding our new learning programme when we have it developed.
Please check our online learning resources for more information Learning Resources | Watford Museum
