Bring learning to life with the help of our incredible collections!

The Ulster Museum has a fantastic selection of curriculum-linked learning sessions available for schools in 2022/23. We’re excited to introduce a brand new multi-subject Key Stage 3 workshop exploring the theme of Environment and Identity and a new introductory option for schools visiting our Troubles and Beyond gallery, alongside all of your firm favourites! There are more opportunities this year than ever to explore our art collections in Look and Make workshops and to examine all aspects of the natural world - including Investigate: Natural History, which is tailored for SEND groups. And don’t forget that your class can Discover More in our Discovery Centres for FREE as part of their visit, in short exploratory sessions on a range of themes we think you’ll love.

“The children loved every part of the programme! Such a treat to be able to examine real artefacts up close”

My Creative Classroom

If you’re a primary school teacher in NI, you can join our brand new CPD initiative ‘My Creative Classroom’ for FREE at the Ulster Museum! Our team of artists will offer a practical guide to delivering a wide range of exciting and accessible creative activities for the classroom inspired by our collection of fine and applied art. Places are limited, so email education@nationalmuseumsni.org to book! 

Inspired by the shapes and patterns of Chinese ceramics and studio pottery, Anushiya will explore ways of using paper to make art.

Following a visit to ‘Anything Goes’, an exhibition of fashion from the 1920’s, Robert will look at repeat patterns and tessellation. His easy and effective approach is suitable for both individual pieces and group projects.

Participants will explore printing onto linen using paper stencils to create an artwork using in a wide range of colours and recycled materials. Lucy will explain her work process and ethics and will bring some of her screen prints to view and her personal screens to print with.
