“Just wanted to say thank you for making our visit so enjoyable and such a great success. The children loved it and were thrilled with

the artwork they were taught to do... The tour and visit matched our requirements perfectly and were ideally pitched. We have some

fabulous artwork which not only taught them new skills but will also make a wonderful display... great result!”

Glenda Grocott, Curdridge Primary School Yr 1 & 2 on Southampton City Art Gallery

“The students really enjoyed the experience of Walk the Walls and the museum in the afternoon just added to their knowledge. They lingered at exhibits, tried to steer the Titanic (and crashed!), put each other to trial in the court and loved the interactive nature of the Gateway exhibition.

Although A-level students, they had the enthusiasm of 8 year olds – which was brilliant to see.”

Sophia Jund, Brockenhurst College on SeaCity Museum
