Handle with Care: Conversations Through Objects

Drop in to an object-handling event with members of our Visitor Experience and Engagement team, where you can get up close to some of the items in our collection.

There will be different stations throughout the space, each with objects that you can touch and explore at your own pace. In addition, there will be other creative activities to try.

Come along if you are interested in the connections between health, history and art.

A chill-out space is available if you'd like to take a break from the activities to rest or relax. It will have low lighting, comfortable seating, cushions, mats and sensory aids such as ear defenders and toys.

We’ll be in the Forum. To get there, take the lift or stairs up to level 1 and then follow the signs through the ‘Being Human’ gallery.

This is a relaxed event. You are welcome to move freely around the space. You can leave and re-enter whenever you wish, and you can make noise at any time.
