Museum Late: The Art of Wellbeing

About Us

Join us for our Third Thursday Club Museum Late

Every third Thursday the museum stays open until 8.00pm with different activities taking place based on a particular theme.

This month, we celebrate the power of museums to improve our lives in our event The Art of Wellbeing. 

There's lots going on, with activities taking place throughout the evening, so drop in any time to enjoy them.
