British Museum - What's on for families this Easter

What's on for families Easter holidays

The Easter holidays are approaching fast and you can come to the Museum to enjoy wonderfully colourful and fun activities for the whole family. Be inspired by our new exhibition, The American Dream: pop to the present – use screen printing to decorate tote bags and learn about printmaking. Make and become part of an artwork, take pictures in our photo booth and help create a collaborative mural with the photos. In our range of free digital workshops, animate Celtic patterns using stop motion software, play family digital games and solve challenges together with our Great Court games. Play digital dress up, discover digital music – just choose one or try them all! You can even pick up some juggling skills and make origami money boxes at our special event Juggling your finances. Finally, don’t forget to try free activity trails and backpacks, available from the Families Desk, or play our interactive family adventure game as a group (£).
