In this session weโll find out about jobs in the museum looking after our collections. Meet our curator and find out how our mining banners are being conserved, get a behind the scenes look at our collections storage area then get hands on and try out some paper conservation and object care techniques yourself!
Recommended for children working at ages 7+. This workshop aims to be hands on, it does require some fine motor skills to create and remove marks on paper but there is very little reading or writing involved.
Our bookable workshop prices are ยฃ4 per child per workshop (ยฃ6 with optional donation), and accompanying adults are free. Spaces are limited and children must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times. Workshops will be led by members of our Learning Team.
