Free Family Crafts

Free, drop in.

11am-1pm and 1:30pm-3pm

Come to the learning room and "fix" a "damaged" artwork. When you have finished, compare it to the original in The Art of Conservation exhibition which offers a glimpse into the process of art conservation and shows visitors, how the experts at North East Museums, preserve and restore artworks to ensure their longevity and integrity. 

This event is part of our Ways to Play programme of free and low-cost family-friendly activities.

Make your ‘Ways to Play’ adventure a great value day out by travelling to our venues by the Metro and / or Ferry.  

Up to three children aged 11 and under can travel for free on the Metro and the Shields Ferry with a fare-paying adult. Metro is the convenient, fast and frequent way to get to your favourite attractions and now it’s even more affordable.
