The Museum Network

Talking Objects is a  resource for Key Stages 3 and 4 which allows pupils to reflect on how we perceive the past through the objects that have been left behind. Looking at themes relating to citizenship, such as growing up, conflict, worship and showing off, pupils will gain skills in interpreting what objects and works of art tell us about people in the past and will enable them to apply these skills to examine their world around them and consider their sense of identity.

The Museum is now closed to the public. A development programme of refurbishment and extension supported by a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund is scheduled to be finished by 2010.

The scheme designed by Eric Parry Architects is supported by a grant of £4.875 million from the Heritage Lottery Fund. The exciting proposals address all of the problems facing the Museum today and will create a beautiful new building which together will allow the Holburne to flourish as the active, vibrant and engaging Museum that is needs to be.

Although the museum building is closed the education department will continue to run workshops for schools and community groups throughout the closed period.  Schools have the opportunity to host a series of outreach workshops coordinated and run by the education team from the museum.
