Learning
The Higgins Bedford is delighted to welcome school and education groups. If you are planning a group visit of any type, please contact us so that we can discuss how best to accommodate you and your students.
Our learning programme reflects the strengths of our collections with curriculum themes and hands-on activities designed to make the most of our galleries and exhibitions.
Sessions provide pupils with opportunities to investigate and learn from real and replica artefacts, historical objects and works of art on display.
Our sessions include:
- The Bronze Age Archer
- Romans
- Anglo Saxons and Vikings
- Castle
- Victorians
- WW2
We also offer bespoke art sessions in which pupils can learn new techniques from professional artists to enhance their understanding of the art and history curriculum. For more information contact thehiggins@bedford.gov.uk
