Why did they make that…like that?
Find out why there’s a tiny turret on the front of the building, and a higher-than-normal ceiling in the Georgian Parlour – plus other architectural quirks – by following the trail around (and a little bit outside) the museum.
• Suitable for all ages.
• Pick up a trail from Reception.
Build a sort-of Grosvenor Museum
Help make a definitely-not-accurate model of the Museum by decorating a chunky wooden brick to represent one of the building’s architectural features. Bricks will be added to the display in the Entrance Hall every few days.
• Suitable for all ages and architectural abilities.
• Pick up a brick and leaflet from Reception.
