CPD session for teachers and educators using our object dialogue box. Led by artist, Karl Foster and IWM’s learning team, explore creative learning in our galleries. Both sessions are the same.

In addition to the regular programme and permanent exhibitions there is an opportunity to book places on conferences and visits to special temporary exhibitions.
There is limited space available, so it is essential to pre-book.
Conferences can be on a range of subjects linked to our remit and to AS/A2 courses. They are excellent preparation for both exams and university.
Speakers are experts in their field, drawn from our staff or from academic institutions. Conferences cost £16 per student, with a free teacher place for every ten students.
Special exhibitions usually have a charge for the public but are free to UK school groups weekdays during our term times. These visits must be pre-booked.
