On 1 October, 2024, 100 students of class VI went on an educational trip to the National Museum. The students were escorted by their teachers, Ms Supriya Sahay Gupta and Ms Naina Rose. The purpose of the visit was to provide students with a hands'-on learning experience of India's rich cultural heritage and historical significance.
The students left the School premises in the morning, filled with excitement and curiosity about what the day had in store for them. Upon arriving at the National Museum, they were greeted by friendly staff and museum guides who briefed them on the layout of the museum and the importance of the various exhibits they would see. The museum is a treasure trove of India's past, and the students were eager to explore this.
The students were guided through various exhibits, including sections on the Harappan Civilisation, Buddhist art and Medieval Indian art. They were fascinated by the ancient sculptures, manuscripts, and relics, and actively participated in discussions with the museum guides.
One of the highlights of the trip was the Medieval Indian Art Gallery, where students saw fine miniature paintings, ancient manuscripts as well as swords and shields from battles of the past. The museum guides explained how these artefacts reveal important details about India's rulers, their armies, and daily life in ancient times.
During the visit, the students also viewed galleries dedicated to textiles, coins, and contemporary art, lending a well-rounded understanding of India’s artistic and cultural evolution. The children were encouraged to ask questions and engage in discussions with the museum guides, making the trip interactive and informative.
The trip provided an engaging learning experience, allowing the students to connect their classroom lessons with real-life historical artefacts. The students returned to School with a greater appreciation of India's history, making the day both enjoyable and educational.
