Discover what's on offer at Guernsey Museums this half term.
Children under 18 years of age will be able to see the Guernsey Museum Discovery Room decorated as a second‐class cabin from RMS Titanic, or visit the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition free during February Half‐Term.
The Discovery Room includes educational activities, toys and other practical activities for children and families to enjoy. Visitors can write a letter home on the writing desk or try Edwardian‐style dressing up. Also on display are replica documents including interpretation about the Guernsey passengers on board RMS Titanic.
Guernsey Museums' Access and Learning Manager and Jo Dowding said:
'We wanted to give children and families the opportunity to see and do something different this half term. Children can enjoy looking at the wildlife exhibition photographs, learn about the Titanic and the Guernsey people who were on board the fated journey, and go even further back in time by dressing up and handling period objects'.
Free entry during half term is for children and young people under 18 years between Saturday 11th February and Sunday 19th February, daily 10am‐4pm.
