You can have so much fun with our collections this summer, whether you’re at home or outdoors.
We’ve got some great new ways to enjoy our collections together. Have fun with Lego, get outside to explore the natural world or try out some new activities – from sketching some of our favourite objects to designing new patterns inspired by paper art from Mexico. We’ve even got a family workout – stretch like a big cat, jump like a monkey or just relax like a Buddha.
If you’re a teacher or learning at home, you can also explore our Resources for Teachers.
