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.


Important notes

Arrival: Please arrive at the main museum entrance where the welcome desk can direct you.

Location: Sessions are usually in the Mouse House, but may occasionally move to another location within the museum.

Cancellations: If you are unable to attend, please contact Georgina at georgina.scott@northeastmuseums.org.uk so your space can be offered to another family.

Please consider purchasing a donation ticket or leaving a donation when you book today. We rely on the generosity of our visitors to help us keep art and heritage at the heart of the North East. Thank you.
