About Curiosity Club

Leave your grown-ups at the door and get curious with our Curiosity Club sessions.

Inspired by some of the museum’s most exciting collections, Curiosity Clubs are a chance for kids to explore the museum without their adult helpers through games, activities and gallery visits.

"A big thank you to all the team at today’s Curiosity Club. Our children really had a fantastic and very memorable morning with you."
