Leave your grown-ups at the door and unleash your creativity with some brand new Curiosity Club themes – Robots, Supernatural Scotland and Animals in the Dark.

Capturing 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.
