MOSI

MOSI offers extensive facilities for early years, primary and secondary schools in its new Learning Loft. This new area consists of three classrooms; a science lab, lunch areas; storage facilities and toilets. Many sessions also incorporate an on-gallery element.

You can now also bring your class to watch a show in MOSI’s great 4D Theatre, with moving seats, water spray and air blast! They have a range of online resources for various educational groups including English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) and for teachers of English as a Foreign Language (EFL). MOSI suggests making a preliminary visit before bringing a class so that you can familiarise yourself with the site, make a risk assessment and make decisions about the experiences.
