Virtual Visits for schools
Connect your class with Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales for a free live interactive workshop. Designed for learners aged 7-11, the workshops cover areas of the curriculum including: Humanities, Expressive Arts and Science and Technology.
Take part in live activities, zoom in on Museum treasures and engage in thought provoking discussions with Museum staff. All sessions are supported with relevant digital resources and pre-recorded content.
Since Autumn 2020 we have connected with 32,000+ pupils across Wales and beyond! If your learners are working from home or from school - we can connect with you.

Even when not in lockdown, it's a great way to connect with expertise and experiences beyond the classroom. A wonderful opportunity for the children!
A brilliant way for the children to be able to experience real life artefacts and stories in these challenging times.
We don’t believe that virtual visits will ever replace the fantastic experience of visiting our Museums in-person. Virtual visits, instead offer a different kind of learning experience and the opportunity to interact with museum staff and objects much more frequently - throughout the academic year. So, learners could visit a Museum to study one topic and join us virtually to study another. We have also found that learners are more likely to ask in-depth, thought-provoking questions when they interact with us virtually.
Virtual visits are a good way for us to deliver a more inclusive learning program for schools that are too far from a Museum, have needs that make visiting difficult or are struggling financially.
