Calling all inquisitive kids aged 7 -11! Our popular Curiosity Clubs are back for more adventure, discovery and fun.

Leave your grown-ups at the door and unleash your creativity with a repeat of our two most popular Curiosity Club themes – Ancient Egypt and Volcanoes. Capturing some of the museum’s most exciting collections, this is a chance for kids to explore the museum through games, activities and gallery visits.

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.
