On May 20th, the Year 10 History elective class went on an excursion to the Chau Chak Wing Museum in Camperdown. This excursion goes along with the content that we are learning about this term which is museum studies. This excursion was a perfect opportunity for us to get an in person experience and understanding into how museums store their artefacts. 

During this excursion we were able to learn about different aspects of history such as Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, Pompeii and Herculaneum from a museum guide. As well as this we were able to enjoy a hands-on experience where we held artefacts and drew them, also being able to write down what understanding we could gain from the artefact. After this we were able to walk around the museum reading more about the artefacts, seeing more areas in the museum such as stuffed animals and artworks and taking photos of them.
