Sleepovers
There are four sleepovers a year when you can spend the night
exploring the Museum after dark!
There’s a great range of things to get involved in, from
storytelling and crafts activities to talks by curators on the
permanent collection or current exhibitions. It’s a fantastic
opportunity to discover the Museum and learn more about the
collection – and you can bring your friends along too!
