The Museum Network

The Museum Network is a partnership between The Wallace Collection and four important regional collections; The Bowes Museum, Compton Verney, The Holburne Museum of Art and Waddesdon Manor. Until April 2011 education projects were made possible by Strategic Commissioning funding. Many programmes are still available at individual museums. Please see contact information for further information.

Education Projects: Sleeping Beauty: Storytelling Workshops; Discover the story of Sleeping Beauty through the 7 wonderful paintings of the fairytale by Leon Bakst. Watch as the workshop leaders bring the paintings alive with the class trough drama and role play.

Community Projects: The Big Draw; This Year all 5 museums participated in the Big Draw. All of these Big Draw events looked at aspects that connect the 5 museums, through architecture or the buildings’ surroundings.
