A chance for families to explore the Museum after dark.

Statues that go bump in the night

Rumour has it our statues have been known to come to life at night... Explore the Museum after dark if you dare! Drop in to have a go at our Twilight trail and to bring our statues to life by torchlight. Just don't forget to bring your torch!

Twilight at the Museums is a FREE after-dark event for families where museums and collections across the city open their doors for a variety of torch-lit and illuminated adventures. With 12 organisations offering free drop-in activities and themed trails across 10 locations, there is plenty for families to enjoy.
