Hands-On
History Workshop
The Museum of
the Jewellery Quarter provides
a chance for your pupils to
discover
how this famous part
of Birmingham has changed
over time from Victorian Britain
to today. The visit can offer
opportunities to:
- Search for evidence of
life in the past in the
area.
- Find out about the technological
and economic history of
the Jewellery Industry.
- Learn about working conditions
from Victorian times, through
the 1930's to the present
day.
- Take a guided tour of
the Smith and Pepper Factory
- an amazingly well preserved
historic building.
- Make souvenirs to record
the visit
Visits to the Museum of
the Jewellery Quarter are
FREE to
schools. We strongly
recommend that teachers arrange
a free pre-visit in preparation
for the day.
Sessions usually commence
at 10am and last for approximately
2 hours. Booking is essential
as we can only accommodate
one class at a time. There
is also a lunchroom available
if required. For more information
with regards to the sessions
available please visit the
Teaching
Sessions page.
