Students & Teachers
As part of our learning programme, we offer Tutors' Twilights alongside our major exhibitions in the Embankment Galleries. The evenings give teachers and lecturers a chance to explore our exhibitions, meet the people involved in the curatorial process, and to discuss content and themes in more depth. The Twilights offer an insight into how students might engage with the exhibition, with suggestions for follow-up activities and an outline of the talks and events calendar.
Discover Tudor intrigue and Georgian Enlightenment, scientific curiosity and naval power, extravagant entertainments and 'the King's Shilling', as we lead you from the airy lightwells of graceful staircases to the atmospheric Deadhouse.
