Amazing animation with the team from Panoply.

How do stories make it from an idea to an animation or film? Join us and the animation team from Panoply to find out about the secrets of storyboarding. View animations of Greek vases, plan your own animation or design your own vase, and explore myth in our Cast Gallery.

 

For ages 4-12 but younger siblings are welcome to attend.

 

No need to book: just drop-in.

 

This is a Summer at the Museums event.

 

Summer Temperatures

The Museum has a glass roof and in the summer sun temperatures in the gallery can raise very high. We do all we can to open windows, but please do plan your visit accordingly and perhaps bring water (see Food and Drink, below), especially if you are bringing small children.
