Learn

The Danum Gallery, Library and Museum aims to inspire people of all ages and spark curiosity, imagination and fun.

Through encouraging reading from the earliest age, to exploring Doncaster’s heritage with the latest digital technologies, we want every resident and visitor – young and old – to have learned something new after their visit.

Combining an adult and children’s library with museums and galleries allows us to offer contemporary and unique opportunities to provide blended learning experiences. Bookcases are placed throughout the art gallery and museum to allow visitors to explore even more on the art and heritage collections on display.

Heritage Education School Workshop Bookings

In September 2022 Heritage Doncaster and Doncaster Libraries joined forces to form Cultural Services. As a result, a new combined Education team has been created that brings together the Library’s literacy team, Heritage education team, and library and museum loans services.

The Education and Learning team are working on a brand new offer for schools and education providers, “The Doncaster Cultural Curriculum”. This includes new school workshops at Danum Gallery, Library, and Museum, a new outreach offer, new combined topic boxes of museum artefacts and books, teacher CPD and a new primary school membership scheme.

For all school enquiries, please email the team.

Find out more about our workshops on the Heritage Doncaster Education page.
