Schools are invited to discover African, Carribean and Asian Histories through the University of Birmingham collections at the Barber Institute of Fine Art and the Danford Collection of West African Art and Artefacts. At The Danford Collection, pupils will explore African histories and have a go at modelling out of clay. At The Barber, participants will explore the West African altarpiece and Hindu sculpture of Siva, then have a go at miniature painting and Indian-themed portrait painting.
