Our schools loan boxes can be used to supplement your chosen topic of study with a hands-on, object-led experience inside your own classroom. Loan boxes contain a mixture of real and replica artefacts from the museum as well as ephemera, books, and costumes to bring your classroom learning to life.

Loan boxes are hired over a half-term period and must be collected from and returned to the Dorman Museum.

If you require a more detailed list of loan box contents, please contact the museum Learning Officer.

*Please note we have multiple versions of this box with differing contents. Boxes are loaned on a first come, first served basis*
