A school trip to the Ulster Museum wouldn’t be complete without a visit to one of our Discovery Centres! We have a skilled team of Facilitators in these child-centred, interactive spaces to help your pupils investigate real museum objects and provide opportunities to be creative. Our FREE programme of Discover More workshops for schools covers a wide range of topics suitable for children in pre-school and up to Key Stage 3, including pupils who have special educational needs and disabilities. We aim to help build your pupil’s social, sensory and practical skills in a positive environment and spark their curiosity!

Choose from a range of FREE 30-min hands-on guided investigations, story sessions or creative activities delivered by our Discovery Centre team.
