ArtReach Museum Education Programme for Schools
In studies, it has been proven that museum education programme can improve children’s literacy and critical thinking skill. Our aim at the BNG Education Department is to enhance the students visit by giving them more insight and the opportunity to interact with the Museum’s collections and exhibitions, enabling them to learn and understand the historical and cultural contexts in which the work of art were made.
Our current exhibitions offer something for everyone, so reward your students with a visit to the National Gallery, Bermuda's art museum.
