learning

Museums Wellington provides unforgettable learning experiences for students of all ages. Our museum programmes enable students to discover the stories of Wellington/Te Whanganui-ā-Tara in an authentic, fun and hands-on context.

Programmes support the New Zealand Curriculum and provide opportunities for students to develop the key competencies in a social learning context. Our Social Sciences focus can be linked to English, The Arts, Tourism, Science, Technology or Statistics depending on your requirements.

Our programmes are developed and led by experienced teachers, who are available to host Syndicate/Department Meetings at the Museum of Wellington City & Sea, or to visit your institution to discuss your programme requirements.  Programmes are supported by the Ministry of Education's Learning Experiences Outside the Classroom initiative. 

Find out about programmes available at our three sites:

• Museum of Wellington City & Sea
• Cable Car Museum
• Colonial Cottage Museum
• Plus, ask about our Ship and Chips Trip which is a fantastic day programme including the harbour and Matiu/Somes Island or the new Capital City Connections link programme.

We welcome pre-school, home school, ESOL and tertiary groups.

Contact museum educators to plan your class visit.
