Walsall Museum Education Service
A visit to Walsall Museum is a great way to bring learning to life and to inspire creativity. Walsall Museum’s education service currently offers facilitated workshops based on the Victorians, the Second World War and Sister Dora. Sessions on other subjects can be offered by prior arrangement. All of these are delivered within the Museum and are suitable for KS2.
We have a permanent exhibition on local history, 'The Changing Face of Walsall', and a regular programme of temporary exhibitions, all of which are suitable for self-led visits by schools. Visit www.whatsonwalsall.co.uk for details of our current and forthcoming exhibitions.

Museum on the Move
The Museum on the Move is a mobile museum which can come out to your school. The bus is approximately the same size as a mobile library van, has disabled access and can hold a maximum of 10 people. It is staffed by two museum educators at all times. A charge is applicable for use of Museum on the Move. Visit http://www.walsall.gov.uk/museum_on_the_move for further details on Museum on the Move.
To make the most of your visit to us, why not combine a workshop at Walsall Museum with a visit to the New Art Gallery or Walsall Leather Museum, both of which are an easy walk from Walsall Museum.
