Join Technology Tom for a STEM family workshop inspired by our current exhibition, Following the Eagle. Discover the fascinating world of Roman emblems, badges, inscriptions and symbols as you explore how designs were created and used across the Roman Empire, before having a go at creating your own. You’ll be able to design, copy and craft your own emblem using copper metal sheet, a unique keepsake to take home.

This event is part of our Ways to Play series of free and low-cost family-friendly activities taking place in museums and galleries across Tyneside.
