The National Maritime Museum, part of Royal Museums Greenwich, has just launched interactive educational workshops for intermediate and advanced international students.
The workshops consist of art-based activities primarily based around the themes of the galleries. The four new galleries – Tudor and Stuart Seafarers, Pacific Encounters, Polar Worlds, and Sea Things – cover British and European exploration from the late 15th century through to the present day.
Through the recurring themes of ‘encounter, legacy, science, trade, exploitation and power’, groups will delve into the complex story of Britain’s exploration of the world, examining how men and women ventured beyond the nation’s shores to explore the ends of the Earth in a quest for knowledge, riches and adventure. Furthermore, the galleries highlight how Britain’s relationship with the sea and its growing maritime power and ambitions shaped the country and impacted the world we live in today.
All activities at the National Maritime Museum can be individually tailored to meet the specific groups needs and the learning objectives of the visit. There is also an option of involving a character actor in the session to take the group on an interactive and engaging tour of the museum.
Sessions last approximately 2 hours, or 3 hours including a tour, for a maximum group size of 30 students per session.
