School visits to the Leather Museum
Key Stages
Our topics and activities have been specially tailored to complement the needs of the National Curriculum. A visit to the museum can complement work on local history, the Victorians, materials and many other subjects. The museum can also act as an excellent case study for students studying GNVQ Leisure and Tourism.
We can offer guided tours and demonstrations, plus an opportunity for groups to join in genuine leatherworking activities in our period workshops. The museum is also very happy to offer support to teachers wishing to pursue independent themes of study.
Please note that all services are free to schools within Walsall Borough and only a minimal charge is made to those operating outside the Walsall area, for hands-on activities.
Booking a school visit
Please note that the museum is closed on Mondays and opens at 10am on other days . Teachers are very welcome to make preparatory visits to the Museum to discuss their plans and the range of activities available - please contact the assistant curator.
