Welcome to Mini Museum!
Calling all little explorers! Mini Museum is our weekly, playful session created especially for families with children under 5. These relaxed sessions introduce young children to the museum through discovery, creativity and fun, all in a welcoming and supportive environment.
Each week features a different theme inspired by the museum’s collections and stories, with simple activities designed to spark curiosity and imagination.

Every Mini Museum session offers a flexible mix of engaging activities, which may include:
- Storytime adventures inspired by history and imagination
