Discovery Boxes

Discovery Boxes are exciting museum object-based learning resources for use in the classroom to enrich your curriculum-based teaching.

Schools can book and borrow them from Salford Museum and Art Gallery, and they include museum objects, archival material, and a variety of activities for pupils to do as a class, in groups and as individuals as well as videos, photos and more!

We’ve built key areas of the curriculum into these resources so that schools can introduce aspects of history, local history and art into their classroom with ease, and importantly, fun! Each Discovery Box covers a theme, and within it, a number of curriculum markers.
