About

Join Albany the Great North Mouse for Museum Mice, a two part series of sessions on Fridays. 

Our Museum Mice sessions are designed for children under 5, and are the perfect place for your little one to socialise with new people and make friends, whilst exploring our Museum collections though play.

The sessions will begin with songs, followed by free time to explore other play activities within the space and an opportunity to have a closer look at some of our museum handling collections.

Each round will follow a new theme for your little ones to enjoy.
