Learning and Access
The museum encourages the practical use of its collections to enhance learning. It seeks to provide hands-on access to its collections wherever possible. The museum has a flexible approach and is happy to work with teachers and tutors to enable their students to get the most out of a visit to the museum.
'Why do you ask me a question, by the way of solving it, why think, why not try the experiment'?
This was John Hunter’s response to his student Edward Jenner when asked by him for the cause of a failed experiment. He urged his student to try the experiment again to find the answer.
The museum supports its founder's practical approach to learning and is committed to providing the widest possible access to its collections for all its visitors.
