Want to find out more about museums? Join us over four weeks in November and December and meet museum staff and explore our collections up close. Get hands-on with museum objects, up close to our boats, and discover what threatens the preservation of museum collections.
What will I get out of it?
What the museum offers
Open to anyone 11 - 19 years old.
Explore why you think museums matter (or not) and learn how we decide what objects to add to our collection.
Learn how to handle objects from the museum collection and why we handle these with extra care. Learn how we label museum objects (it’s not as easy as you think!).
Join our Boat Club volunteers who will share how they care for our historic boats like the Reaper. Have a go at caulking, ropework and other traditional skills. Also, have a tour of the Reaper (weather permitting).
Swab the decks with our Assistant Curator by getting up close to our historic boats. Learn why and how we clean the largest objects in our collection.
Please contact Julia Branch on 01333 310628 or julia@scotfishmuseum.org for more information.
