A Teachers Pack accompanying the exhibition provides additional ways for children and adults to engage with objects and themes in Assembling Bodies. It can be used before, during, or after a visit to the exhibition.

The Teachers Guide gives links to the National Curriculum, information on visiting, and activity ideas for students of all ages. If you would like a free copy, please contact sarah-jane.harknett@maa.cam.ac.uk.

There are 38 Information cards for individual objects from the exhibition. These give extra interpretation and suggest connections between objects, giving students and teachers the chance to find their own combination of exhibits, and choose their own path through the exhibition.

For more information or to book a group visit contact cumaa@hermes.cam.ac.uk.
