Come along with your toddlers and takeover Discovery Museum!

Join us with your little ones to take over the galleries on the first floor of Discovery Museum.  

There will be a series of simple play activities on offer, encouraging toddlers to explore the museum in new and fun ways.

To support our new exhibition - Steam to Green: A North East Energy Revolution - all activities will be Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts or Mathematics (STEAM) themed!

Activities include:

• building and constructing, 
• dressing up, 
• colouring,
• sorting, 
• counting, 
• handling exciting objects and much more!

We would recommend spending one hour exploring the different activities at your own pace. You can take part in as many, or as few, activities as you like and in any order you prefer.

Discovery Museum is part of Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums. 

Early Years staff from across the organisation will bring activities from:

Laing Art Gallery

Stephenson Steam Railway,   

Shipley Art Gallery
