A visit to the Cecil Higgins Art Gallery will introduce children to a wide variety of chairs dating from the late 17th to the early 20th century which form part of the Gallery's collection. All the chairs have been placed in Victorian room settings to enable visitors to see them in context and a visit will bring to life the online work carried out by pupils.

A 2-hour visit by pupils will allow time for a tour of the rooms to discuss aspects of the chairs such as style, materials, function and technology. The children will then have plenty of time to make sketches and/or detailed drawings of the chairs in preparation for designing their own.

Visits can take place morning or afternoon and can be adapted to suit your requirements.
