Medieval Life Program
MEDIEVAL LIFE ON-SITE AT GLENCAIRN MUSEUM
Grades K–8 | 2 hours
Immerse your students in the world of European knights, monks, peasants, and more with our popular Medieval Life program. This program will:
Explore what life was like in the medieval world through three different lenses: those who work, those who pray, and those who fight.
Highlight the religious beliefs and daily practices of Christian people in the Middle Ages, and how these beliefs influenced the creation of art and artifacts.
Provide students with opportunities to touch, hear, and see medieval art and objects in a variety of ways.
Include an interactive activity time in the Glencairn Studio where students will be invited to explore the Middle Ages in a global way, and understand how objects can tell stories about the people who made them. Students will be invited to reflect on their own story and identity, and to create a piece of art that captures this.
