Take Me to Museums

• Paperback
• 96 pages

With its stylish design, zingy illustrations and handy size to pop in a bag "Take Me To Museums" is a must-have accompaniment to every museum or gallery visit. The book is divided into five 'adventure' chapters. Every time children take a trip to a museum, a new adventure begins. On their journey around the gallery spaces they are encouraged to record their thoughts and draw what they see. Each chapter is unique – so on every visit they will discover something different. Packed with facts about museums all over the world, the book also includes a timeline of museum history and a glossary. To wrap it all up there’s a section for making notes and a page for comparing the five adventures.
