The Whipple Museum can offer on-site learning sessions from early years to adult groups on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, subject to availability. Sessions typically last up to an hour and a half and include practical activities, information about objects and a chance to ask questions. Home educating families are welcome to book any of the schools sessions, there are no minimum numbers.
