COST: £10 per week per box; £20 per three weeks

The Memory Boxes will be launched as part of an exhibition in the Link Gallery at RCM from 7th October until 5th December 2009. Come along to find out more!

People with Access Needs

If you work with a group with disabilities of any kind, we can offer workshops specifically tailored to your group’s needs. These can either take place at the museum or we can bring the collections to you for handling sessions.

To book a workshop contact Louise McDermott (see address above).

 

Community Groups

The museum is full of inspiring collections and can provide the setting for a huge variety of informal learning activities for community groups. Your group can visit independently or museum staff can support your visits by way of introduction or with more involved project-based support.

To facilitate access for your group, contact Louise McDermott (see address above).
