My name is Anna Chrystal and I am a Geography
and Geology graduate and I am also the Learning
and Community Development Officer here at
the Lapworth Museum of Geology.
The Lapworth Museum of Geology is one of the
only natural sciences museums in Birmingham
and more broadly the West Midlands. We have
everything from dinosaurs to diamonds, from
earthquakes to evidence of evolution. There’s
something to spark everyone’s imagination.
The Lapworth Museum of Geology has recently
undergone a £2.7 million redevelopment project,
and as such we have a number of state-of-the-art
resources available for visiting school groups
and educational groups.
Here at the Lapworth we have devised an engaging
educational programme that has been linked
and developed alongside the National Curriculum.
It covers everything from rocks, to living
things and their environments, and evolution
and inheritance.
We are firm believers in learning from objects.
Subjects such as Natural Sciences are far
easier to understand when you are engaged
with a physical object, and therefore we aim
to use our extensive collections and fabulous
resources to inspire the next generation of
scientists whereever possible.
All of our educational sessions are currently
on offer free of charge. Please get in touch
with the Museum for more information and to
find out how to book.
