About this session

Grayson Perry: Delusions of Grandeur presents over 40 new works by Sir Grayson Perry (1960). In the largest contemporary exhibition ever held at the museum, visitors will encounter ceramics, tapestries and works on paper amongst others, displayed alongside masterpieces from the collection that helped shape Perry’s vision for this landmark show.

Bring your class for an immersive creative session that includes exclusive access to the exhibition. Your students will be led through a workshop designed to activate their imagination, helping them to create their own artworks in response to the exhibition and our permanent collection.

The exhibition includes references to mental health crises, violence and homelessness.

• Students will develop their skills in investigating and analysing historical and contemporary artworks
• Develop personal artwork in response to a theme inspired by a contemporary artist
