The Museum Network

Created at The Bowes Museum, now also available at The Wallace Collection and The Holburne Museum of Art

During this workshop children have the opportunity to learn French vocabulary and simple phrases through drama and art. At each museum a relevant character (Joséphine Bowes at The Bowes, Madame de Pompadour at The Wallace and Queen Charlotte at The Holburne) works with pupils to teach them French vocabulary and language skills as well as about French culture and history through the unique French collections.

Available at all 5 museums

The five Network Museums have developed of a series of storytelling workshops designed to enable pupils to explore the collections and to use them to inspire their own creative writing and artwork in response. Exploration of the museums’ collections in the morning part of the session will be followed up by more practical literacy and art activities in the afternoon. Examples include ‘Sleeping Beauty’ at Waddesdon Manor and ‘Talking Textiles’ at The Wallace Collection
