Art School …in a trail!

Free with a gallery ticket

Children aged 9+ and their families are invited to see artwork at the Courtauld in a whole new light this February half term. Art School… in a trail! is a free spotter trail from Kids in Museums and Hachette, celebrating the release of Art School (in a book), an exciting introduction to the world of contemporary art for young creatives from the makers of hit podcast Talk Art, actor Russell Tovey and gallerist Robert Diament.

Enjoy a traditional museum and gallery spotter trail with a fun twist – each stop unlocks a creative mission designed to help you look at and chat about the artwork in the museum collections in fun new ways. Complete the activity sheet to receive your Art School sticker!

Trails are available to pick up from the entrance hall from 10am to 5pm Monday 16 February to Friday 20 February inclusive. (you can also collect trails from our ticket desk on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 February).

Tickets to the Courtauld Gallery are available to purchase on our website or in person at our ticket desk. Children (18 years and under) are free entry to our permanent collection and other concessions available.
