Virtual visits
As part of our educational outreach programme, the Royal Mint Museum offers free Virtual Visit sessions for school groups of all ages. They cover topics such as history, science, technology and economics, through the theme of how coins have been created and used across time.
Virtual Visits are bespoke lesson-length sessions, delivered digitally to classes of any size and age. Sessions are approximately 50 minutes long, include audio-visual presentation, interactive teaching, and a chance for children to examine items from the Royal Mint Museum collection with a member of the team.
You can get in touch here to book a free session for your school or class.
Each session is individually tailored to fit the needs of the school and curriculum through consultation with the teacher. Previous bespoke sessions have included:
- The history of money in the United Kingdom
- Technology and science in the coin production process today
- Pre-decimal money and examining archaeological finds
- GCSE-level economics and currency throughout history
- Art and design in miniature as part of the coin production process
If your school is located within an hour's travelling distance, we can offer classroom-based workshops, talks, and presentations at your school on the same range of topics. Please get in touch with us to discuss your needs, at learning@royalmintmuseum.org.uk.
