Explore themes of empire, trade, naval power, and monarchy as you consider the lives of the naval veterans who retired to this site after their service at sea.
Workshops include a brief tour of the Painted Hall and take place in our Clore Learning Centre. The activities are designed to help build confidence and activate the imagination: Let your mind explore and your creativity respond!
