Imagination Station

‘Terrific idea. Loved the way it got the kids out into the Museum and to use their imagination – loads of it!'

The Imagination Station is all about creativity and ideas. Visit to have fun exploring the Museum and let your imagination run wild!

Activities are devised with artists and facilitated by our expert family friendly team. Examples of activities include making a creature for the deep blue sea, a beautiful room, a miniature portrait, a headdress, a sketchbook or sketches or a useful tool or invention. Activities rotate each week with new ones added in the holidays. Pick up the activity of the day and materials from our team at the Imagination Station and then zoom around the Museum to get inspiration and fire your imagination before drawing or making your idea.

Available from 10.30–17.00 activities are for all ages with specific ideas for under 5s.

Every Saturday the Station is located in the Grand Entrance. In the school holidays you can find one Station in the Sackler Centre and another in the British Galleries Clore Education Space, Level 2 Room 55

Donate to the Stained Glass Appeal

We are currently working on an exciting project to conserve and re-install the original stained glass on the landings of the Manfred and Lydia Gorvy Lecture Theatre. We need your help to raise £75,000 to bring these historical features back to their former glory for us all to enjoy.
