Each museum will offer a variety of interactives and activities, such as storytelling sessions, hands-on play areas, and art workshops. The festival is designed to give young children the opportunity to explore and learn in a fun and engaging way, while also introducing them to the world of museums.
We are excited to be able to continue to offer this unique festival with Museums In Northern Ireland. The Playful Museums Festival is a wonderful opportunity for families to bond and learn together in museums, and we believe it will be a valuable addition to the local areas involved.
