Wolverhampton Arts and Heritage venues are special places where everyone can enjoy learning and develop a range of skills. Learning outside the classroom in museums, galleries and archives gives children the confidence to explore their surroundings and broadens their understanding of people and the world around them.

Please let us know about any access requirements for your staff and pupils. We can arrange BSL or audio described sessions on request. All floors are accessible via lifts.
