See our new exhibition and enjoy creative activities

The photograph shows two children wandering through a museum room. The children are moving so they appear blurry on the photograph. On their left there is a glass cabinet with metal tools and other exhibits. On their right there are black and white photographs of people attached to a wooden wall. There is also a white panel with text. The child on the left is a girl with black hair. She is taller and she is wearing blue jeans and a colourful t-shirt. Next to her is a shorter boy with black hair, red t-shirt with black and white stripes and beige shorts.
Join us this Half Term to see our new temporary exhibition about Maimonides and join in our creative drop-in activities!

Make Your Own Ancient Manuscript: Drop-In Activity

Join us in our Learning Studio for a hands-on creative activity inspired by the remarkable documents of the Cairo Genizah - the archive where the writings of Maimonides were preserved for centuries.
