Families fun and learning for all
The Museum of London and the Museum of London Docklands are now open! Pre-book your free admission tickets in advance here. Tickets are also available on the door.
Things to do during your visit
-
Yes or no?
Choose a favourite object and see if others can guess it by asking only questions answered ‘yes’ or ‘no’.
Tricky…
-
Remember, remember...
Study a single case of objects during your visit, and then turn around and see how many objects within it you can name.
Peep at the end to see what you forgot!
-
Colour hunt!
Everyone chooses a colour or material (remember that modern materials like plastic haven’t been around long!). Search galleries for objects the same colour or material.
Younger children might like to look for shapes as well as colours.
