Educational leaflets
During their visit to the Museum both teachers and students receive leaflets. These leaflets include information on the audiovisual material, on informative and literary texts, activities and games as well as suggestions for visits to other museums or places of maritime interest.
The content of the educational leaflets has been adjusted according to the age and the educational programme that the students attend in the Museum. They have been designed to provide the most suitable material and inspire both teachers and students to further engage in issues associated with maritime history and tradition. Likewise, they are also mementos of their visit to the Museum.
