Regular family events
Family weekend
Every weekend, we make extra space for families with drawing materials, puzzles and activities in the museum's lower floor, a pleasant spot for play, a packed lunch and a breather. Show your museum ticket at Café Christie for 10% off your order
Archaeology day
Be an archaeologist for a day! Meet researchers, dig for archaeological finds and try activities from the past, from excavation boxes to hunting with bow and arrow

When darkness falls, we switch off the lights and invite you to a completely different museum experience. Bring a torch, explore the darkened exhibitions and solve tasks on your way to a prize
