• 45 min i interaktiv utställningen
• 45 min guidad tur
(max 10 elever samtidigt per guidad tur)

Goda råd!
Det är lämpligt att hela klassen anländer samtidigt till våra lokaler i Gamla Stan.
Sätt gärna ihop grupperna i förväg, 8-10 personer per grupp.
Det kan vara bra att förbereda eleverna redan i klassrummet, t ex samla frågor:
– Drömmer de blinda?
– Vad betyder färger för dem?
– När är tekoppen fylld med varmt vatten?
Skriv ner frågorna och ta med er!

Avbokning måste göras via e-post eller telefon senast 48 timmar före bokad tid.
Kontakta oss på mail eller telefon så kan vi berätta mer i detalj vad som är möjligt.
