About This Event

Little ones get to run the museum for the morning, working through a checklist of jobs that includes patrolling the galleries, making puffballs, transporting objects, sorting the store room, sweeping and dusting, and singing and signing. Arrival is staggered across the session. The event is free but booking is required through TicketSource, and every member of the party, adults included, needs a ticket. It is part of the museum's early years programme, supported by The Shears Foundation.
