Event description

We have fun activity guides inspired by our latest exhibitions for you to explore.

Find out more about the weird and wonderful animals in our Menagerie exhibition, follow the activities with your family and design your own animals too.

Look up and see our wonderful, wriggly snakes above our staircase. Can you complete our special snakes and ladders game? If you can, you might even get a snake sticker.

Head downstairs to our The Skin We Live In exhibition where our activity guide will help you learn more about portraits and get some ideas for creating your own – who will you draw?

We also have a fabulous festive range of Christmas drawing and activity sheets to help you enjoy your visit even more.
