School and kindergarten visits
Are you bringing a school class, kindergarten group or group of children to the University Museum? The museum offers teaching programmes linked to the curriculum for all levels, and school visits are free for all schools and kindergartens. Here you will find the programmes and how to book.
What can the class do at the museum?
Our teaching offer spans from kindergarten to upper secondary school.
We support active, exploratory learning through a range of methods and approaches to the subject matter.
The programmes are adapted to different target groups and are based on current curricula and frameworks.
School visits are free for public schools and kindergartens.
- Classes wishing to visit us outside our teaching programmes are welcome during the museum's opening hours.
- Explore the exhibitions independently or follow one of our discovery trails.
- Please let us know in advance if you are coming with a group of more than 50 people.
