Support and facilities for schools at Vindolanda and The Roman Army Museum
A Warm Welcome
Schools from across the North East and North West of England and far beyond have been coming to Vindolanda and the Roman Army Museum for many years for our living history experience. Our recent work on refreshing the two attractions means yet more reasons to visit or return - a completely new experience now awaits your children from the 3D film at the Roman Army Museum to the Writing Tablets at Vindolanda. Whatever the age group, we can meet educational needs and expectations with our unrivalled resources. Talking with our friendly and experienced team of educationalists and archaeologists will make your visit truly memorable.
New for 2012 at the Roman Army Museum - Seeing is believing!
Our fabulous new education room at The Roman Army Museum is an action packed Roman classroom where you and your pupils can interact with our Roman teacher Velius Longus who will emerge from the past, via a hologram, complete with his remarkable magic blackboard – every teacher should have one!
Sit back and relax in your special teachers chair while your class enjoys a memorable Roman style learning experience. Language, maths and morals will prepare your pupils for life in the Roman Empire.
This not to be missed c. 20 minute lesson is suitable for all ages and can only be experienced at The Roman Army Museum. It forms part of our museum education package for groups of 15 or more and comes at no extra cost but it must be booked in advance.
