The Loans collection

Based on themes explored in some of our most popular museum learning sessions, and ranging from EYFS to KS2, the WSRHT’s Loan boxes are designed to give children a more genuine insight into a period of history by offering the opportunity to gain tactile experience of handling objects from the past. 

Each box contains a collection of objects and costumes from the museum collection, in addition to a teachers’ information pack containing background information, worksheets, challenge cards and a large selection of photos which can be used to support your class throughout your chosen topic. 

Available for a period of up to three weeks, Loans Boxes cost just £20 to borrow and are available for collection from the Gauge Museum at Bishops Lydeard.
