Music Around the World: Store Tour and Workshop
Learn about music across the world with objects from our World Cultures collections – then build your own musical instruments from found objects.
Join our World Cultures Curator, Adam Jaffer, to explore our music collection from around the world.
Then, make your own paper, cardboard and ‘found materials’ (string, tape, plastic etc) musical instruments, inspired by our collection, to take home.
Sensory quiet spaces available during the workshops – a tour of the site also included in the workshops.
This event is give what you can. We don’t want price to be a barrier to a great experience. Simply pick the price you can give when booking your place, and enjoy your visit.
Suggested donation: £5
