For this exhibition Kettle's Yard invites children and young people in Cambridge to create artworks about what matters to them today, in any artistic style or medium, from local to global issues; from their home to our shared planet; from love for families, friends and communities to concern for nature, animals and the environment.
A selection of artworks created by Kettle’s Yard’s partner schools and community groups will also be on display.
The Whipple Museum of the History of Science is home to a vast array of scientific instruments used to understand the world around us, dating from the Middle Ages to the present day. We'll be taking some of these objects out of their cases for hands-on exploration and discussion.
You are welcome to stay and explore the Museum after the tour if you would like to.
Saturday 16 November, 10am - 4pm. Free, drop-in
