Secondary schools
Talks, workshops and teaching resources for school groups
Key Stages 3–5
School visits 2024-25
The National Gallery's new Centre for Creative Learning will be opening early in 2025. It will give us larger and more dynamic spaces for making and talking about art, celebrating children and young people’s creativity and encouraging imagination.
We will be unable to host onsite school visits in the autumn and early part of the spring terms but will continue to run online sessions. To coincide with our van Gogh exhibition, which opens in September 2024, we will be offering additional online workshops inspired by van Gogh's works in the National Gallery collection.
