Discover Art!

Taking place on the third Saturday of each month, children will learn about the art and artists in our exhibitions, before putting their new knowledge to use in a fun creative workshop.

They might paint their own artwork inspired by the Harley Open, or craft a clock using the historic clocks in our museum as a starting point.

Tickets for these sessions will be released in our monthly e-newsletter, sign up to be the first to hear.
