Learning at Home Activities

As you can’t visit our museums on a family day out or as part of a school trip we are bringing our museums to you.

We’ll be sharing some snippets of information and activities from our education programmes to help you build on your learning and interests at home. These include our Inspire 20 Art competition, our Kitchen Science experiments and our Big Brum BioBlitz, more of which can be found below:

Inspire 20 Art Competition

This is the fifth year of our popular Inspire art competition and this year the competition is called What I Can See and it is open to all ages! This has been designed to help us all think about things in our homes, gardens, skies, views, and even in our imaginations and thoughts. So what might this mean to you?

Your art submission could be a poem, a still life, a painting in the garden, portrait, a photo, a digital drawing or video, a mud sculpture, a pen drawing … there is no right or wrong.

Visit: Our Inspire 20 competition blog for full details including closing date.

Big Brum BioBlitz

Nature is taking over! We want to encourage families, young people and adults to explore their natural environment, expand their knowledge and develop new skills by carrying out their very own BioBlitz.
