David Livingstone’s Kaleidoscope Art Activity

Come along on 27th May at 11 am and help us create a fantastic art exhibition as part of the Mosi-oa-Tunya Festival. You will be creating unique artwork by exploring the themes of David’s childhood, exploring Central Africa, and unique artefacts/objects from the museum. Your stunning artwork will culminate in the Kaleidoscope Exhibition, displayed at the museum. We will be using colourful collage, markers, tissue paper, and acetate paper to express ourselves and to create artwork inspired by the objects from the museum collection.

Our lovely tour guides will take you into the museum, and you will have a storytelling session and explain various items in the collection to inspire you to create something of your very own artwork for our living legacy to David Livingstone.

No Experience is required, and everyone is welcome.

No booking required.
