PARALLEL STAGE: This is a week-long activity to celebrate the International Museum Day, on Saturday, 18 May 2019. Emphasis is given to digital resources: exploring the websites of famous European museums, playing games in their children’s sections, and taking digital tours. Depending on curriculum needs and local availability, schools may incorporate a lesson on the significance of museums and a visit to a local museum.
