Borrowing the Boxes
Loans boxes are usually borrowed for a three week period, which costs £15 per box. We are very happy to
loan them for longer if needs be, just ask.
All boxes will be sterilised and quarantined for at least 72 hours before being loaned out to ensure they
are COVID safe.
A full catalogue of the collection is set out on the following pages. Many of the objects lend themselves to
handling sessions. They do not have information labels attached, since this can limit exploration and
deduction by those using them. Instead, you will find a set of Teachers' Notes with each box.
Boxes can be collected from the Museum during normal opening hours (10.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m., Tuesdays to
Saturdays). Please ring in advance so that we can have them ready for you. Returned loans should be
handed in at the Reception Desk at any time during Museum opening hours, on or before the due date.
Please return them promptly, so that other schools and groups can benefit.
We reserve the right to withhold individual items for use in exhibitions or handling sessions when
necessary. We hope that you will enjoy using the collection and look forward to hearing your comments and
suggestions for future improvements.
