SCHOOLS AND DAYCARE CENTERS
USE THE MUSEUM IN YOUR TEACHING
MUSEUM VESTFYN has, in collaboration with schools, theater and other partners, developed exciting and relevant courses for primary and secondary school students. The courses can be accessed in several ways: courses at school, in the museum's exhibitions, courses in urban spaces and courses that can be accessed online. By inviting students into the stories in ways that appeal to the senses, emotions and play, the museum aims to make history relevant to students where they are in their lives.
