Digital lessons

Here we collect our digital lessons. With them, you and your class have the opportunity to take in Maritiman's exhibitions and content without visiting the museum itself. They are perfect for one or more lessons, or as a supplement. Each lesson has separate instructions for both teacher and students.

If you would like your digital lesson with us to be about something other than what we suggest below, you are welcome to send this request to our museum educator Johannes at johannes.olsson@ maritiman.se. For further information and booking, call 031-10 59 50 or send an email to bokning@maritiman.se.

Feel free to take a look at the lessons that we offer on site on board as well. A physical school visit at Maritiman helps you and your class immerse yourself in an adventurous and exciting way a variety of topics!
