Trails

Why not explore the museum with our family-friendly trails? Designed by our community arts management apprentice, they are available now from our Welcome Desk in three different age ranges: under 5s, 6 to 10 year olds and 11 years+.

Each trail has its own signature colour - all you have to do is find the footprints next to the objects!

With pictures, questions and images they're a fun and educational activity for children and their parents to do together. Translated trails will also be available soon. There's even a reward for all those who take part. Good luck and enjoy!
