The British Museum - What's On Half Term

Have you ever wondered how divers see under the sea? How does a statue weighing the same as a killer whale end up in a museum? This May half-term, you and your family can discover the answers to these questions together – and so much more – in the BP exhibitionSunken cities: Egypt’s lost worlds. Look out for the diver symbol in the exhibition to help guide you around.
Come to the Museum this half-term for a week of all things under the sea. Enjoy a range of activities for all the family celebrating the lost cities of Egypt.
Visit the Samsung Digital Discovery Centre for free digital workshops every Saturday and Sunday where you can become a family of digital designers and even animate Celtic patterns to make a stop-motion film.
Finally, don’t forget to try our free activity trails and backpacks, available from the Families Desk in the Great Court.
