Art at the Start in the Museum
18 Jan 2023
13:00 - 16:00
Imagine Gallery
Free, drop-in
Art at the Start in the museum – join us for creative play for under 5s.
The Art at the Start team, based at the University of Dundee, explore the benefits for very young children of making art together with their important grown-ups. At the National Museum of Scotland we have been working with them this year to support art sessions, and so we are celebrating with a museum takeover for our youngest visitors.
We will be running drop-in creative and sensory play activities within the Imagine Gallery, all aimed at babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers and their grown-ups. You can join us at any time throughout the session for baby-safe activities using light boxes, collage, and colourful and tactile materials.
Let your wee people get creative with us!
