The Education Department aims to facilitate communication between the museum and its audience, and especially school-age groups, promoting events such as visits, workshops, conferences, theatre plays, exhibitions, raising awareness of issues pertaining to our cultural heritage.
These include environmental conservation issues, and the conservation of marine life, through themed tours and the elaboration of educational publications. These activities enforce principles such as knowledge-sharing, critical thinking skills, leisurely learning in an informal educational environment.
