The Petrie Museum is having a party - and you are invited. To celebrate the centenary of the museum, and the launch of a new book titled 'Characters and Collections', they are throwing open their doors on 11 June from 6-8pm. With characters from the museum's past coming to life to reveal the secrets and stories of the Petrie's 100 years, and a vintage disco taking place outside on Malet Place, this event is not to be missed. Book here. Also a reminder that if you've not yet seen them, this month both Strange Creatures at the Grant Museum (finishes 27 June), and Re-launch at UCL Art Museum (finishes 12 June) are closing. We look forward to seeing you at UCL Museums soon.
