Teaching & Learning Resources

School Visits and Outreach

The Petrie Museum welcomes school group visits on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings between 10am and 12pm. There is no charge for this service. Pupils will normally have exclusive use of the museum. Visits are based on the use of a downloadable Teachers' Pack entitled ‘Egypt in Africa’. Each session begins with an introduction to the collection and ends with a ‘Question and Answer Session’. Pre booking is essential and and this can be arranged by contacting the Visitor Services Officer.

Free Outreach sessions can also be arranged involving our learning staff visiting your classroom with a case of objects for curriculum-linked hands-on workshops. For more details please visit the main UCL Museums Schools page.
