Discovering Museums
A Fun Introduction for Early Years Foundation Stage
45-minute session
Hove Museum of Creativity or Brighton Museum & Art Gallery
What is a museum? Why do we have them? What can we find inside? Is everything there old? Who works there? What can we touch, see, and make?
Bring your group to Hove Museum of Creativity or Brighton Museum & Art Gallery to find out!
With the help of a Museum Educator, children will go on a guided tour full of fun and discovery. At every stop, they will take part in activities such as looking and finding, counting, sorting, moving, storytelling, and making things. These activities encourage exploration, creativity, and adventure.
