The Courtauld Family Backpack takes children on an intriguing multi-sensory journey through European Art 1400-1800 on Floor 2. The backpack contains five individual bags for children to explore pigments, textiles, a bitten apple (why?), a soundscape and smells, all relating to paintings and objects in the collection.
"The trail and the sensory bags are beautifully put together and really helped our children explore the beautiful collection."
