The Museum was founded in 1816, 'for the increase of learning', and in the twenty-first century we:

welcome everyone to the museum, respecting individual needs and creating a positive ongoing relationship with our cultural spaces
enable learning from a wide variety of real objects in a unique environment
encourage creative, independent enquiry-based learning
share expertise in learning and collections
and collaborate with audiences to plan our programme

Schools at the Fitz

During the pandemic we have been hard at work, designing, creating and building new resources for schools to use.

Try our new activities - discover amazing artworks, browse for ideas, watch films about our collection, or book a session with us for your school. All of these are now on a new website that we have made, have a look, tell us what you think.

What will you discover today? Let's find out!
