The Garstang Museum is opening its doors for a family friendly Open-Day with a variety of engaging educational talks and fun activities for everyone to enjoy.
Our expert-led object handling sessions will give the public the chance to interact with the Museum's archaeology collection like never before. In this tactile session, the public can learn about how each of the objects was fabricated and their function in antiquity.
Our Museum staff will be providing in-depth tours of the collection throughout the day, being guided through each of the fascinating objects on display. You can also get a glimpse of the Garstang Mummy and even see inside the wrappings with our display of x-ray images.
