WORKSHOPS
Hands-on, immersive and unforgettable experiences at the Museum!
Our workshops are short, intensive programs designed for anyone eager to learn specific skills alongside the Museum’s passionate team. Unlike Field Schools, which focus on collaborative specimen preparation, workshops offer a more independent experience for participants aged 16 and over. The program includes transfers to and from Winton Airport, a grocery stop in town and time for gift shopping in Winton. Staying onsite at the Museum, participants gain a unique, hands-on experience while supporting the Museum’s work.
