The Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology is pleased to announce an afternoon session of talks, artefact handling and archaeological activities around the theme of one of our most popular sessions, Roman Britain.

This event is specifically designed for home educated children aged 7 to 11. Spaces are not available on these sessions for younger or older siblings outside the 7 to 11 age range.

It's the National Year of Reading, and what better way to flex your creative muscles than trying out some blackout poetry!

Polar Panoramas artist John Kelly included pieces of text in his Arctic scroll and select phrases in his forensic boxes. In a similar theme, blackout poetry is a form of 'found poetry' using existing text to create a new poem.

If you're a fan of the 'Polar Postcards' we share on social media, or perhaps the stunning landscapes on display in Polar Panoramas, this might just be the event for you!

Using recycled postcards and coloured card, we'll show you how to create your own torn paper landscapes to take home.

We'll start with a 15-minute introduction to the method, accompanied by some inspriation images from our archival paintings and photographs. You'll then have 45 minutes to create as many postcards as you wish!
