2 Borrowing the Boxes

Loans boxes are usually borrowed for a three week period, which costs £15 per box. We are very happy to loan them for longer if needs be, just ask.

All boxes will be sterilised and quarantined for at least 72 hours before being loaned out to ensure they are COVID safe.

A full catalogue of the collection is set out on the following pages. Many of the objects lend themselves to handling sessions. They do not have information labels attached, since this can limit exploration and deduction by those using them. Instead, you will find a set of Teachers' Notes with each box.

Boxes can be collected from the Museum during normal opening hours (10.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m., Tuesdays to Saturdays). Please ring in advance so that we can have them ready for you. Returned loans should be handed in at the Reception Desk at any time during Museum opening hours, on or before the due date. Please return them promptly, so that other schools and groups can benefit.

We reserve the right to withhold individual items for use in exhibitions or handling sessions when necessary. We hope that you will enjoy using the collection and look forward to hearing your comments and suggestions for future improvements.
