British Museum – community preview

Dear Supplementary Schools, 

I hope you’re well and looking forward to well-deserved Summer holidays.

I would be delighted if your students, teachers and volunteers could join us for an exclusive Community Preview of Scythians, warriors of ancient Siberia exhibition at the British Museum on Sunday 10^th September 2017. 

This major exhibition explores the story of the Scythians – nomadic tribes and masters of mounted warfare, who flourished between 900 and 200 BC. Their encounters with the Greeks, Assyrians and Persians were written into history but for centuries all trace of their culture was lost – buried beneath the ice. You can find out more about the exhibition here scythians exhibition

·         Name of your school

·         Number of tickets required

·         Preferred entry time to exhibition between 10.30 – 16.00
