Videos Medieval Manuscripts through Children's Eyes
To motivate and encourage students to discuss medieval art, we have created four inspiring videos with Robbe (5), Elias (6), Maarten (8), Elin (10) and Berre (10). The children look at medieval pages filled with Latin and colourful drawings and share their thoughts. Their questions are answered by our in-house expert.
