Children
aged between 2-8 years can make active links between people,
other cultures, the natural world and art in Discover, a gallery
of play, learning and finding out. Activities will encourage
children and families to interact with the objects and each
other, try on new roles and use 'hands-on' exhibits. Paintings,
puppets, photos, masks, birds, animals and fossils break down
the mystique of 'museum objects', and show that you do not
need a degree in art to 'understand' a painting or be an expert
scientist to study nature.
