As far back as the 1830s there was a real desire to teach impoverished children about all of the wonders of the material world through real, first-hand experiences with objects.
Dating back to the infamous collecting of "cabinets of curiosities" to the modern role of the museum, come and find out where this drive towards object-based learning began.
See if it was successful, discover the fascinating story of where the movement came from, and see how children experienced the world within their classrooms.
And why not come and see some of our own 'wonders' on exhibit!
Entry ticket to the museum is required for the exhibition.
