Hands On History gallery opens
Congratulations to the gallery team at Hull Museums who opened their new Victorian gallery at the Hands On History museum with a popular family event.
Families crowded the gallery to hear Hull mayor Councillor Gemmel officially declare the new exhibition open. They then enjoyed exploring hands-on activities including Victorian toys, the Victorian schoolroom complete with stern headmaster, and Victorian style clothes. The interactive school desks and genuine Victorian rocking horse proved extremely popular! Elsewhere in the museum people had the opportunity to make their own Victorian toys to take home.
The gallery was funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund as part of the 'Lessons Learned - Lessons for Life' project and was developed after extensive consultation with teachers and families.
