The William Morris Gallery is closed for redevelopment until July 2012.
Resources for schools and community learning
When the Gallery reopens in July 2012 we will have a brand new, dedicated learning space and an exciting new programme of activities and resources for schools and community groups. In the meantime we have the following resources available.
Loan boxes
Loan boxes are available to Waltham Forest schools. These be used to enhance the teaching of many subjects, including history and art and design. Loan boxes can be collected from our partner museum, Vestry House, by appointment and borrowed free of charge for up to two weeks. The boxes come with an activity pack giving ideas on the use of the objects.
