The story

This eight-week family programme followed a simple and effective rhythm: a child and adult first explored a work in the gallery, then made something of their own in a practical session. The museum object became the beginning of play and conversation.

Activities included a foil relief inspired by Food for Thought, a commemorative coin, a travel journal, a map of memories, a character costume, beaded jewellery and a clay bowl. Changing materials allowed children to become artists, designers and storytellers in turn.

The Saturday programme ended in August 2026. Its structure nevertheless captures the museum’s approach to families: children are invited not simply to listen, but to observe, choose and arrive at their own ideas through making.

Schedules, prices and availability may change. Please confirm the latest details before your visit.
