How to develop a museum within your school - The pack includes 10 session plans that lead you through the project step-by-step. You can choose to either follow the instructions fully or you can use the plans as the starting point to develop you own sessions. Though the resources are targeted towards Key Stage 2 school groups these session plans have been designed in an easy to follow way that can be adapted to other age groups and informal groups.
