Shining Wonders, free event, 5th February

Shining Wonders from the Museum

Buxton Museum and Art Gallery

February 5th 2022

At this quiet time in the museum, we’re rummaging through the stores and bringing out some of the Wonders that visitors do not usually meet. There may be stones, and bones, brooches and badges, belt buckles and coach clasps. Glittering minerals and shining stones will add to our dragon’s hoard of findings. Can you tell the difference between the real treasures and the pretend ones?

You cannot take our treasures home with you but come and create your own treasures by touching, seeing, drawing, making, decorating or just remembering.

Join me for a creative adventure into a world of shining wonders.

Looking at our provision for people with additional needs, this is a quiet event aimed at families with autistic members or other specific needs.

This is a quiet event aimed at families with autistic members or other specific needs. Your family will enjoy more time together with Gordon in a quieter room and with freedom to walk around the Gallery.
