MUSEUM CLUB - NEW FOR 2008!

This is an exciting opportunity for 8 to 12 year olds to be involved with the Museum on a regular basis.

The fun and engaging monthly sessions will enable children to spend some time exploring the themes of the museum and its changing exhibitions in creative and practical ways.

Many of the sessions will be led by experts and specialists in particular areas, and the programme will cover a broad range!

An annual membership will include all the sessions below, a membership card and two newsletters for the year. Individual places for non-annual members can also be booked (at £4.50) if spaces are available.
