Family · York

No booking, no extra fee beyond your museum ticket — just pencils, paper and a museum full of Victorian streets and curious objects to draw from.
Kids add their sketches to a growing collaborative artwork based on the museum itself, so the half-term crowd literally builds something together over the week.
