Goole Museum

Goole Community Museum is located on the first floor of the Goole Library building, and explores the history of the historic port town of Goole through permanent displays and a temporary exhibition programme. The museum welcomes visits from schools and community groups, and has a dedicated Education Room in which pupils and visitors can work with the museum collections.

Schools

There are plenty of fun hands-on activities and a nature trail round the gallery. For very young children there is a basket of traditional toys and a floor puzzle to enjoy. More information can be found by going to the Children and Families page.

Visits from schools and community groups are welcome and there is a dedicated education room in which pupils and visitors can work with the museum collections. More information on provision for schools is available on the Goole Museum learning page.

Goole Museum supports learning in history (in particular, the history of the local area) design and technology and geography.

There are interactive exhibits and supporting information in the form of information sheets, and there is an education room for use during a visit.  The museum also has handling collections, maps and photographs for classes to use while visiting, with support from museum staff. 

All group visits must be booked in advance to avoid group booking clashes. This is essential even if a self-directed visit is proposed. Many schools like to arrange a visit to Goole Library at the same time as visiting the museum.  If you are planning to do this, please make sure that you book with both the museum and the library.
