Services for schools

Teachers and children engage with our collections through online resources, loans boxes, workshops and presentations at your school and visits to Brent Museum and Archives.

You can access our online catalogue to view images of Brent. All our workshops can be delivered at your school or at Brent Museum and Archives.

Visiting Brent Museum and Archives

Visits to the Museum are free. If you wish to use the Education Room for lunch during your visit, please include this information when you make your enquiry. It is very important that you wait for confirmation from us that there is space for you to come and that we have booked you in as the Museum cannot accommodate more than one class of up to 35 students at a time.

The Museum galleries cover Brent’s past from prehistoric times to the modern day. Over 400 items can be viewed over six sections of the museum. Class visits usually last around 30 minutes.
