Learning

Art class in the Edwardian garden

Education is a top priority at the Geffrye. We are an experienced team of museum professionals committed to delivering an innovative and inspirational programme for visitors of all ages and abilities.

Our programme for schools has recently been awarded a Learning Outside the Classroom Quality Badge.

The Education team also hold a Sandford Award for Heritage Education and the judges noted:
 
"A highly skilled and dedicated education team enable children to break down the fourth wall of each room studied, by allowing children to deduce for themselves how the English middle-classes live and used to live. The Geffrye Museum is an integral, vital, quintessentially English institution within the rich and diverse community that it dutifully serves."

Online programmes

The Geffrye has recently launched two on-line learning resources:

Walk through a Victorian House, an innovative interactive game for children, their families, parents and teachers.

Tudors for Teachers is a download -able resource containing activities suitable for Key Stage Two pupils. The resources can be used pre and post-visit to the museum or independently in the classroom.

These innovative programmes complement our existing online activities for children that are accessed through The Kids' Zone.
