Horniman Museum and Gardens’ Arctic Adventure Workshop
Key Info
Travel on an exciting, imaginary journey to the Arctic in this interactive hands-on workshop.
Discover some amazing Arctic animals as you touch a real orca tooth and reindeer fur, and learn how their bodies help them to survive in their cold habitat.
Learn about traditional Inuit life, from their homes to their clothing, and discover how they use natural resources to survive. Handle beautiful objects made by the Inuit, including snow shoes, snow goggles and a seal-skin parka, think about how they might be used, and identify the materials used to make them.
The Horniman is the perfect place to explore your topic further. Use their Arctic schools trail to guide your class to their famous taxidermy walrus; search their Natural History Gallery for other Arctic animals; and see amazing Inuit objects in their wonderful World Gallery.
About Horniman Museum and Gardens
Thousands of school, HE and home educated learners visit the Horniman each year, to explore and learn from their incredible collections and beautiful gardens.
A visit to the Horniman is a wonderful way to enrich your learners’ education, and to apply classroom learning in a new environment.
You can explore our free Galleries, Gardens and Animal Walk with your classes, or book to visit our Aquarium, Temporary Exhibition and Butterfly House at a reduced educational rate.
Please note that our Natural History Gallery is now closed for redevelopment, and will reopen in 2026. The rest of the Museum and Gardens is open as usual.
Enhance your group’s learning by booking one of our popular, curriculum-linked object handling workshops, or book an outdoor workshop exploring our beautiful Gardens and pond.
University and PGCE students, and teachers can discover more about our learning programmes, object-based learning, and how to enhance learning through Museum visits with our Learning at the Horniman sessions.
Not able to visit us? Our Learning Officers can bring our workshops and amazing objects live into your classroom with our virtual sessions and events.
