Summer Opening Hours

Tues-Fri: 10am - 5pm

Sat-Mon: CLOSED

Join us this summer for a paw-sitively fun daily craft activity inspired by our new exhibition, Cultured Canines: Evolution, Emotion, Imitation.

Get creative with our dog-themed crafts, perfect for young artists and animal lovers alike. While you're here, follow our brand new trail Following the Pawprints through the Museum - sniff out the ancient pups hidden within our collection and discover the roles dogs played in classical life. Whether you're a fan of four-legged friends or just curious about all things classical, there's something for everyone.

This activity runs daily during the Museum's opening hours from Thurs 24 July - Fri 29 Aug, simply drop in, no need to book.

This event is part of Summer at the Museums 2025.
