About Curiosity Club

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

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

About the sessions

  • We will be open for ticket holders 10 minutes in advance of start times, so that the sessions can begin promptly.
  • Please note that these sessions are for children aged 7 – 11 years without their grown-ups present.
  • We are now also offering a relaxed version of the Curiosity Club for ASN families from 14:30 – 15:30. Parents/carers will be able to stay for these sessions which will have a reduced capacity and include an optional gallery visit after the hour of activities.
