Special Activities: 

FEBRUARY HALF-TERM: A CABINET OF CURIOSITIES

Help The Garden Museum fill a temporary cabinet of curiosities with your own creations! Be inspired by the story of the Tradescants, 17th century gardeners and plant collectors who collected objects of curiosity for display in their ‘Ark’, an early museum which was in their house in Lambeth.

Using recyclable materials make an object that you think will be curious in 100 years or more. A talking phone, a dinosaur skeleton, a fantasy creature or just your favourite household utensil.

Make the most intriguing object to go in our cabinet of curiosities and don’t forget to create a label that would explain what is and what it is for.

17, 19 and 20 February, 2-4pm, Ages 3-8+, Free drop-in workshop
