Loan Box

If your group cannot reach the Museum, let us bring it to you! The Community Education & Access Worker can visit your venue to deliver education sessions, talks, and so on. This service can also help you put on community exhibitions.

Community Loan Boxes

Boxes containing fascinating objects from days gone by have been created from the Museum's Handling Collection and are available on loan to local schools and community groups. In addition to the objects the boxes also contain notes, photos, maps and other supporting resources. The boxes can be used in a number of ways for example to support National Curriculum learning, or in reminiscence sessions.

There is no charge for loans and boxes may be borrowed for one or two weeks. For bookings – please ring the Museum 01945 - 583817, or email education@wisbechmuseum.org.uk

The collection and deposit of the boxes is the responsibility of the borrower and this normally takes place on Saturday.

The only box which must be accompanied on loan is Ancient Egypt (this box can only be used in conjunction with a session led by Museum staff)

The boxes currently available are:

Archaeology
Ancient Egypt
Romans in Fenland
