We have museum trails, activity sheets, and colouring sheets for our younger visitors. Whether you pop in for a quick visit or spend a little more time exploring, you’ll find activities to engage and educate the whole family, from toddlers to grandparents!

We asked, ‘What do you think about our museum…’

Your answers have made us very happy. Thank you.
