At the Disability Friendly Opening, the museum will be open exclusively for families with children with sensory sensitivities. This event is aimed at children with special educational needs who usually find visiting museums overwhelming due to conditions that affect their sensory processing and/or have a developmental disability.
Follow the Grand Safari Trail as it takes you around 15 magnificent brick sculptures in the Grand Arcade - then see the real animal skeletons in the Museum of Zoology! You'll see the label trail when you enter the Museum.
Join the Museum of Zoology at two pop up events in the Grand Arcade. We'll be outside the entrance to John Lewis with crafts, specimens and more - Thursday 15 August and Tuesday 20 August, 11am to 1pm. We will have crafts and specimen handling, plus a competition. Do pop in and see us!
Join us as we look under the microscope at some aquatic wildlife, plus help us to make a HUGE zoology themed paper chain! We'll have our specimen handling table out too, so come along and have a chat with our expert volunteers whilst handling some real animal specimens.
All activities and Museum entry FREE.
Join us for a relaxed morning at the Museum for all the family. We’ll have picture books, drawing materials, sensory play resources, as well as tips and ideas to help you enjoy your visit. Babies and young children are especially welcome.
These free events build upon our ‘Family Welcome Project’, a participatory research project with the North Cambridge Child and Family Centre.
Explore the house and gallery, draw inspiration from the surroundings, and create architectural models using recycled materials.
Join artist Jacqui Campbell as we play with a variety of ‘monoprint’ techniques to make some very painterly prints. Monoprint means a one-off print, an artwork that can’t be repeated.
We’ll be using a printing press to make the prints and also exploring methods that can be used at home.
Printmaking can be a messy process, we’ll be using washable, water-based inks, but remember to wear your old clothes.
