Join us at the weekends for FREE volunteer-led family gallery tours.
Listen to stories and hunt for history while you explore the galleries. There will be craft activities and you can take home your creations. The family gallery tours will last around one hour. We continue to run our Ancient Egypt tour every weekend and with an alternative new Ancient Rome tour from June.
Please look out for the chalkboard at the Welcome Desk to join the family tours.
During school holidays, family tours are limited to 15 families: first come, first served. Please go to the Welcome Desk to sign up and receive your sticker.
