Learning at The Potteries Museum & Art Gallery

Our marvellous and diverse collections include natural history, local history, archaeology, ceramics, costumes and fine art. Support and inspire your children’s learning with the resonance of real objects, be it a mediaeval skeleton, an enormous ammonite or our own Spitfire aircraft.

We offer a wide range of activities led by our experienced staff (see list below). You are also welcome to bring your pupils on a free, self-led visit, but please let us know in advance to avoid bottle-necks or to arrange a lunch space. Self-led visits should have a clear focus and pupils should be supervised at all times.
