There’s magic in the air this summer!

The ancient world was filled with mystical secrets, prophesies and curses. Discover these secrets for yourself over a magical afternoon at the Museum of Classical Archaeology. Just drop in and craft spells, create your own curse tablet and even try your hand at ancient fortune-telling.

Will you uncover lost spells from the past or learn the secret to seeing the future? (But be warned, not all prophesies have happy endings…)

 

Drop-in and meet Megan Malpas, a University of Cambridge student researcher who investigates the atmosphere in the Arctic – one of the coldest places in the world. Explore how clouds form up in the atmosphere, make your own cloud down here on the ground, and find out what it's like to be researcher who works in the Arctic.

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.
