Ways to Play is a new series of playful activities for families from Tyne & Wear's museums and art galleries.
As our museums and galleries aren’t able to open at the moment, we've decided to bring some activities to you!
These are our seven ways to play: invent, imagine, discover, make, design, pretend and build. You can get started by finding the activities on our website.
We hope you enjoy finding new ways to play and we look forward to welcoming you back to our venues soon.
