There’s so much to see at Eton College Collections – discover artefacts from prehistory to the present day

With three museums and a gallery, there is plenty to discover on a trip to Eton College Collections.

Schools can take advantage of the free museum education sessions, learning about National Curriculum based topics from dinosaurs to the Victorians using artefacts, documents and hands-on activities.
