La maleta viajera
The program has been designed to introduce students and teachers of Spanish to the rich collections of Museums Victoria.
Learning kits
Learning kits are cases filled with objects and a variety of learning materials that teachers can hire to engage their students with natural science and social history subjects. All kits are linked to the Victorian Curriculum.
The kits are mailed out to schools for a hire period of 1–3 weeks and can be returned to the Melbourne Museum via Australia Post unless other arrangements are made.
The learning kit program is currently on hold and will recommence once the museum reopens and we have necessary safety measures in place.
In the meantime, our online education program, Museum at Home Learning, provides virtual learning experiences for classes across Victoria. We look forward to sharing more about recommencing our education and regional outreach program in due course.
