Loan Boxes for Schools
Unlock the magic of the past with our exciting range of boxes!

Hire a box from us to help you bring to life topics taught in school. Gloucester City Museum and Gloucester Folk Museum have a range of Set Boxes which which contain artefacts from the Roman times till today and most of them are original. The collection of the objects in each Box is designed so that they tell a story of life at a particular time in history. There are strong connections between the the objects in the boxes the story they tell and the curruculum. As well as educational handling these magnificent objects is fun and inspiring.
