Grade 8’s Educational Excursion to the National Museum

Exploring India’s Rich Heritage: Grade 8’s Educational Excursion to the National Museum
On August 9, 2024, Kothari International School Noida embarked on an enlightening educational excursion to the National Museum, New Delhi, with our Grade 8 students. This immersive experience was designed to deepen their appreciation of India’s vast cultural and historical heritage.
The National Museum, one of India’s largest and most comprehensive museums, provided the perfect backdrop for this educational journey. Students delved into the diverse exhibits, ranging from archaeology and arms and armor to decorative arts and manuscripts. Highlights included the Harappan Gallery, where students explored artifacts from one of the world’s oldest civilizations, and the Buddhist Art Section, showcasing significant sculptures and manuscripts related to Buddhism.
The excursion not only enhanced the students’ understanding of ancient civilizations but also fostered a greater appreciation for the diverse spectrum of Indian art and history. Students participated in a reflection session to discuss their learnings, with teachers emphasizing the value of such experiences in broadening academic and cultural perspectives.
This visit was a resounding success, inspiring many students to delve deeper into history and art. We look forward to more opportunities that combine learning with exploration, enriching our students’ educational journey.
