At Birmingham Museum and Gallery find out about creative techniques from painting, woodcarving, bronze-casting, drawing and etching to weaving, pottery, jewellery-making and the process of stained glass.

You can watch artists talking about their work whilst demonstrating different artistic processes through a series of interactive TV screens.

You can also see art spanning seven centuries of European history and culture. A trail of interactive activities provides a hands-on experience for children. Try on costumes, discover hidden treasures in drawers and have fun with jigsaws.

There are family activities every weekend (1-4pm) with arts, crafts and much more. Events cost £1.50 per child and are free for accompanying adults. Organised on a drop-in basis, they are a great way to get creative. During the school holidays there are further activities.

If you've had fun on your family day out to Birmingham Museum and Gallery, tell us about it your visit, so other people will know it's a great place to go as well.
