About Curiosity Club

Leave your grown-ups at the door and get inspired with our Curiosity Club sessions.

Inspired by some of the museum’s most exciting collections, our Curiosity Clubs are a chance for kids to explore the museum without their adult helpers through games, activities, and gallery visits.

Our new Curiosity Club themes for 2025 will be announced in November.

About the sessions

We will be open for ticket holders 10 minutes in advance of start times, so that the sessions can begin promptly.
Please note that these sessions are for children aged 7 – 11 years without their grown-ups present.
We are now also offering a relaxed version of the Curiosity Club for ASN families from 14:30 – 15:30. Parents/carers will be able to stay for these sessions which will have a reduced capacity and include an optional gallery visit after the hour of activities.
