All Key Stages need to teach a broad and balanced curriculum. This book guides teachers in planning innovative local visits to achieve this and shows how the stimulus of these visits permeates teaching right across the curriculum.

This practical and stimulating book has three distinct elements. It shows the interest and inter-action that even ordinary objects can stimulate. Case studies illustrate how cross curricular projects have helped schools achieve their own learning objectives. Step-by-step guidance empowers teachers to develop their own projects. Examples and quotations from many teachers and museum and gallery educators enliven the text.
The publication is based on the work of Art & Society and the South Eastern Museums Education Unit (SEMEU). supported by the Pilgrim, Earnest Cook and the Esmée Fairbairn Charitable Trusts.
