Hi Natasha In a previous existence I used to work for the Thames Explorer Trust, while not a museum much of its work was focusing on the natural and manmade heritage of the Thames and delivering associated schools sessions and community activities, could be worth having a look at their website as I suspect some of their activities would be good inspiration for you http://thames-explorer.org.uk/ All the best Jason Jason Finch Curator (History) Aberdeen Maritime Museum Shiprow, Aberdeen AB11 5BY Tel: (01224) 337706 Museums and Galleries Education and Children’s Services Aberdeen City Council The Art Gallery and Cowdray Hall are closed for redevelopment until Winter 2017 Aberdeen Maritime museum open: Monday - Saturday 10-5; Sunday 12-3 The Tolbooth museum open: Monday - Saturday 10-5; Sunday 12-3 Visit http://www.aagm.co.uk/ and http://www.aberdeenships.com www.facebook.com/AAGandM http://twitter.com/AbdnArtMuseums INSPIRING ART & MUSIC – support the fundraising campaign.

[mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Natasha Scullion Sent: 04 September 2017 14:39 To: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Subject: Request for maritime museum activities ideas Good Afternoon Gemmers, I hope everyone is well, I have a question for anyone who is involved with maritime museums, do you have any suggestions or case studies you can share about good engagement activities that have worked for classes, groups or regular visitors? I want to get an idea of what has worked for you and your collections as I start to put together thoughts for planning activities, this is a new role for me in terms of collections so if there's particular things to focus on or avoid that would be very helpful!
