About Activity - LD Museum

School children are an important section of our visitors. The Museum thus initiates innovative methods to reach out and engage with children.

From September 2020, the Museum commenced a series of virtual interactions with students to maintain educational engagement during the Covid-19 Pandemic. Taking inspiration from and linking the focus to school curriculum as per the NCERT syllabus, several illustrated takes were designed for classes 4 to 7, on the following topics:

Old is Forever - Class 4.
Stories of Water - Class 5.
Learning from Indian Art - Class 6.
Hamara Gujarat: A time travel through Art, Architecture and Coins - Class 7.

An introduction to the Medieval Architecture of India - Class 7. With the ebbing of the pandemic, the Museum has initiated physical activities for students along the same topics.

For interested visitors, these hour-long talks (along with a visual slideshow) will be provided by the curator of the Museum, upon request.
