School Loans boxes

Available from Colchester Castle and Ipswich Museum

Borrow one of our loan boxes to bring objects from the past into your classroom. Use them to inspire children's imagination at the start of a project and develop their thinking and enquiry skills or support post-visit work.

Boxes contain a mix of replica and real objects, photos, documents and teacher's notes. Our loans boxes are popular, so please book in advance.
