The Museum’s education programme focuses
on providing access for those interested in learning about
the rural history of Monmouthshire. Our programme is
flexible and designed to help children visiting us.
A Museum quiz and treasure hunt are
available for all children visiting the museum helping to
engage young visitors with the displays. Adult groups can
pre-book tours as part of our lifelong learning programme.
Many of our volunteers have experience in education, from
primary school through to agricultural college.
The museum provides a platform for
pre-booked ‘Enactor Sessions’. We can provide schools with
details of enactors who will provide sessions at the museum
using many of our artefacts. These sessions are suitable for
Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2.
They can cover several periods of history
- the Celts, Romans, Tudors, Stuarts, Victorians and World
War II. Sessions provide the opportunity to try costumes on
and for pupils to enact different roles. Professional
actors, who are qualified teachers, deliver these sessions.
Whilst in Usk why not extend your stay in
the town by visiting Usk’s Norman Castle, the Victorian
courtroom in the Sessions House or walking the Town Trail to
learn about the historic buildings and sites dating from
Roman times?
School
children interview older Usk residents.
