Third year Geography students learn about the history of childhood

Third year students taking the 'Children's Geographies' module visited London this week.

Students have been learning in class about how concepts and experiences of childhood have changed over time.  To gain a greater understanding, the class visited the V&A Museum of Childhood in Bethnal Green.

The class considered the artifacts on display in the museum, and also spent some time playing with the toys!


The class also visited the National Portrait Gallery to consider how depictions of children have changed over time.  The gallery provides an opportunity to look at portraits from the Tudor period to the present day.
