The @kidsinmuseums.bsky.social #TakeoverDay family fun activities are a huge success! Visitors have been taking part in colouring activities inspired by our Tudor Royal Portraits, as well as testing their knowledge of history with a “Who Am I?” quiz created by our Takeover Team.

Great to have the kids from Top Tots Nursery in Portsmouth join us for @KidsInMuseums.bsky.social #TakeoverDay, where they had a look round the museum, labeled some artefacts, took some photos and recognised some "potatoes" (actually stone shot, but they're still learning!)

#TakeoverDay saw students from Admiral Lord Nelson School take over the Mary Rose Museum, coming up with amazing ideas, from display cases for swivel gun shot to Christmas events and even blind-bag bears for the museum gift shop! @kidsinmuseums.bsky.social

We especially enjoyed what this @kidsinmuseums.bsky.social #TakeoverDay visitor had to say: “It was a delight to see the building full of life. And the Battle of Bosworth in the Lecture Theatre is the best thing I’ve been to – and I’m a Fellow!”.

#TakeoverDay was a great success! Our 6th form students ran the shop, wrote & performed a tour that was in costume & said in verse, & ran family activities. Over 80 visitors enjoyed this fresh spin on our building & history. A fab @kidsinmuseums.bsky.social day of fun & intergenerational learning.

Gaining an insight into the variety of roles needed to create a Museum like ours, the workshops will not only showcase the roles and responsibilities within the Museum but enable learners to be a curator for the session!
We can’t wait to see what brilliant ideas they come up with!
