The Pitt Rivers Museum

The Pitt Rivers Museum is famous for it's period atmosphere and outstanding collections from many world cultures, past and present.

Primary schools

We offer a wide range of fun, cross-curricular activities that draw on the Museum's rich collections from around the world. Objects are always at the heart of children's learning experiences be it a guided trail, hands-on workshop or self-guided trail.

Secondary Schools

To help art students focus their efforts we suggest that you book a sketchbook introduction from a member of the Education team.

If you have a particular area of study in mind the Education team can offer short talks focused on particular areas of the collections, such as masks or body art. Please contact our bookings line to discuss your needs.

We have a range of downloadable resources designed for secondary school art groups including our Art Handbook (ideas on how to use the Museum as a resource for artists) and our Art Resources (Worksheets, information and maps on a range of different subjects).
