# Captain Cook Schoolroom Museum

> Captain Cook Schoolroom Museum, Great Ayton Situated in the heart of Great Ayton, one of North Yorkshire’s prettiest villages, the Captain Cook Schoolroom Museum tells the story of James Cook’s early life and education in the Charity School, the village he grew up in and his adventures on the high seas.

Having been granted a Lottery give in 2012 the Captain Cook Schoolroom Museum happens to be entirely modernised and now features interactive displays and an intricately reconstructed century that is eighteenth, when teachers' methods had been instead dissimilar to today's! As well as following Cook's very early life on a farm, their crucial voyages and how he changed the map of the world, the Museum also explores century that is eighteenth practices together with foundation of Charity Schools. You can find bright new images and interactive shows and touch-screens teaching about James Cook's lifetime which are great for burning assignment work, plus a brandname audio that is new allow your family members to dig into Great Ayton's history too and explore the picturesque surrounding village: looks out for signs of Cook's Cottage, a commercial past, and Quaker roots! Addititionally there is a staircase that is brand new lift providing comfortable access towards the Museum so it's more available than in the past, and so they've fully refurbished the present shop too. A visit that is firmly educational with lots of small features to interest the children they're not going to mind!
