February Half Term events for families in February

You are invited to re-construct London's Capital and fill it with the tallest towers, strongest structures and brilliant bridges in our Half Term events for families:

London Landscapes - 13 February to 21 February
Daily between 12:00 and 15:00
Budding builders can re-construct the Capital, designing new structures out of card and displaying them on our model of London's ever changing landscape. The model city will be displayed for all to see in the heart of the Museum's galleries.
Suitable for ages 3+

Sing-along Suburbia - 15 February to 19 February
11:00 and 16:30 drop-in (session lasts 20 minutes)
Sing along to a selection of hand-picked songs about life in the garden, including old favourites Incy wincy spider and Wiggly woo the worm.
Suitable for under 5s

This programme of activities forms part of Capital Science 2010, a celebration for the 350th Anniversary of the Royal Society.



Hands-on Galleries

In addition to hands-on exhibits, we have two galleries purpose built  for our younger visitors:

Interchange
Gallery supported by the Luke Rees-Pulley Charitable Trust.
Children aged from 7 to 11 can explore the Museum's collection in this interactive hands-on area. They can discover the range of people who have worked on public transport in London over the last 200 years, try on replica costumes and guess the origins of our mystery objects. The highlight of a visit to the gallery is a chance to drive our Optare bus.

All aboard!
Gallery supported by the Luke Rees-Pulley Charitable Trust.
Children under 6 can let their imaginations run wild as they climb aboard our fun versions of a bus, train, Tube and taxi. They can take the wheel, becoming a driver for the day, or bump around with the other passengers in the back. They can also explore our miniature London, taking control of the transport system, moving buses and trains around London's most famous landmarks.
