Youth Club – Museum Secrets: History Club trip to Glasgow

Join the new History Club for a special trip to the Glasgow West End.  

This is not a normal museum visit. We’ll go into areas that are usually closed to the public, including museum stores where thousands of fascinating objects are kept and studied. 

We’ll also meet conservators – the experts who protect and repair historic objects. They use exciting science, technology and detective skills to discover how objects were made, fix damage, and keep history safe for the future. 

There will also be a unique BSL tour of an art exhibition led by guide Trudi Collier, who will share stories and hidden details about the art. 

Come and discover how museums really work!
