About
Learn something new and handle museum objects in our free, family-friendly sessions in our Discovery Centres on the second Saturday and Sunday of the month!
Our interactive Discovery Centres are a place to explore our museum collections in a new and exciting way. These family-focused sessions are drop-in and informal, providing the opportunity to touch and investigate objects on display. Some Centres will have activity-based exploration too.
Our next family focus sessions will take place on Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th November from 14:00 to 15:00.
On Saturday 8th November, get introduced to an early print process called Etching in Discover Art and uncover why some animals hibernate in Discover Nature. Have you heard of the Armagh Rhymers? Connect with the tradition of Mummer's Masks in Discover History.
On Sunday 9th November, try painting your own watercolour portrait in Discover Art. Uncover the link between Alfred Noble and earth minerals in Discover Nature, and play with optical toys in Discover History.
Our Family Focus Sessions are free to join, no booking needed. Drop into Discovery History of Level 1, Discover Nature on Level 3, and Discover Art on Level 5.
