Museum in Motion cargo bike
Bringing hands-on, museum experiences to communities across Edinburgh.
Help your audiences discover the stories that museum objects can tell us.
We can bring a range of real and replica objects to your community or group. From fossils that are millions of years old, to Roman, Viking Age and Ancient Egyptian treasures and objects from round the world.
How it works
Sessions include object handling and tailored activities.
Learning Communicators bring the cargo bike direct to your venue to support learning, skills development and wellbeing.
You can request for the bike to come directly to your venue for a general introductory session. You can also request a more tailored session to suit your needs.
How to book
Cost: All sessions are free
