Come along on 9th August at 11am and help us create a wonderful collaborative art exhibition. You will be creating unique artwork by exploring the themes of David’s childhood, exploring Central Africa, special artifacts/objects from the museum. Your stunning artwork will be displayed at the museum. We will be using colourful collage, markers, tissue paper, to express ourselves and to create artwork inspired by the objects from the museum collection. No Experience required, all welcome. Our lovely tour guides will take you into the museum, you will have storytelling session and explain to you about various items in the collection for you to be inspired to create something your very own artwork for our living legacy to David Livingstone.

Thist is a walk in and we dont have a limit, the more the merrier and is inspired by the artwork by Vasily Kandinsky.

This is going to be a family activity.
