Our week-long summer school offers a wide range of creative activities, giving children the chance to take over the museum! The historic school building is transformed into an immersive set design, full of opportunities for role-play, team-building games, filming, and drama workshops. From script to screen, children will create their own short film – writing, directing, and starring in it themselves.
At the end of the week, parents are invited to a special movie screening to see what their children have been working on.
Come and learn new skills, make new friends, and become part of our museum youth community!
