'Viking Adventures at the British Museum' started life as an educational film screened in cinemas around the UK with professional recreations of Viking life, raids and death. This resource not only includes original footage from the film, but also new, exclusive LGfL filming of curators handling Viking artefacts in the British Museum vaults, plus high-resolution images, new explanatory texts and a series of cross-curricular lesson plans for KS2 teachers.

It is a response to the KS2 History requirement in the revised National Curriculum (2014) for pupils to study "Viking and Anglo-Saxon struggle for the Kingdom of England to the time of Edward the Confessor". It focuses on History, but also has lesson links to English, Geography, DT and Computing). All cross-curricular links (English, Geography, DT and Computing) are also NC-referenced on the relevant lesson plans.

This exhibition of remarkable photographs taken in Antarctica by Herbert George Ponting and Frank Hurley marks the 100th anniversary of Captain Scott’s ill-fated journey to the South Pole. Ponting’s extraordinary images record Scott’s Terra Nova expedition of 1910–12, which led to the tragic death of five of the team on their return from the South Pole. Hurley’s dramatic icescapes were taken during Sir Ernest Shackleton’s Polar expedition on Endurance in 1914–16, which included the heroic sea journey from Elephant Island to South Georgia.

The exhibition brings together forty two remarkable landscapes from the ‘Golden Age’ of Dutch painting, including works by Ruisdael, Cuyp and Hobbema. The Dutch Republic, which gained independence from the Spanish-ruled Southern Netherlands in 1648, was physically expanding, with large areas being reclaimed from the sea and with it the population was growing too. Landscape paintings seem to celebrate this expansion and prosperity.
