MIA offers learning opportunities for all ages, as well as teachers wishing to further develop their careers. The collection provides a unique opportunity to explore a range of curriculum-related topics and approaches to learning.

Spaces are limited so make sure you register ahead!

"Many maths and science classes take place within the MIA using the museum's astrology collection... the second largest collection of astrolabes in the world so it's great for students to go back to their own history to apply current scientific methods"
