Britain's What's On Event Guide
Behind the Scenes at the Museum
Heritage Open Day: Sneak a peak behind the scenes at the museum. Meet our curatorial volunteers, see how we store and care for objects and follow the route of an object from donation to display. Have you ever wondered how museums decide what to collect, how they store and look after their collections or how they put together an exhibition? This is your chance to find out! As part of our National Heritage Lottery Project we're offering visitors the opportunity to see inside a museum store and meet our dedicated team of curatorial volunteers and our curator.
You'll also find interactive challenges dotted around the museum which will give you an insight into contemporary collecting, interpretation and displaying objects. For younger visitors we have a family trail, games, dressing up and craft activities.
