Engage with families offering a hands-on activity and make their visit something to remember
I design and deliver workshops linked to permanent displays, temporary exhibitions, or special events such as Easter of Christmas.
These activities, focused on learning-by-doing and encouraging creativity, are the perfect complement to family visits and especially valuable at weekends and periods of school holidays to attract families. During the workshop children have the opportunity to create something that they can bring home, or that your institution can exhibit.
