Become a secret curator for the day and design a fantasy museum in this family workshop.

Led by artist Tascha Von Uexkull, build 3D paper rooms and experiment with collage and colour to express different parts of your personality. What will your museum be about? When you’ve built your own museum, fold it into a secret book to take with you!

There are two sessions running from 11am-1pm and 2-4pm. The workshop is suitable for 5-12 year-olds, and booking is essential.

What’s included with my ticket?

Led by a professional artist with all materials provided, all you have to do is bring yourselves! We advise dressing for a mess as this workshop will involve the use of glue. Tickets also include free entry to the Museum so you can explore at your leisure.
