Imperial War Museum North
Join in with some Spy-themed family fun at Imperial War Museum North this Autumn.
The Imperial War Museum North in Manchester is one of the most exciting free destinations for families, thanks to its interactive exhibitions and events.
Families can explore the smells and creatures of a First World War trench, escape from a prisoner of war camp through a tunnel, find out what life would have been like as an evacuee and get a handle on history by handling real objects every day.
From the huge T34 tank and AV8 Harrier jump-jet, to the little things which have meant so much to people, letters, photographs and toys, the Museum has it all.
For a more touchy feely experience, children and parents should head for the museums’ Action Stations where they can see, touch and even smell a number of wartime experiences and test their skills to the limit. Families can get creative with the interactive HotSpots every Sunday, giving them the chance to try their hand at designing their own postcard to send to a friend or keep as a souvenir.
And if that wasn’t enough, the museum has an array of fun free workshops and highlight events for October Half Term 2009 including:
- In the Spotlight - A Secret Life: Odette Hallowes – Explore the intriguing life of Special Operations Executive agent Odette Hallowes, a truly remarkable spy during the Second World War, in this new special display.
- What a Performance – Spies – Set in the dramatic surroundings of the Museums’ Main Exhibition Space, discover the extraordinary tale of a female spy in the Second World War’s Special Operations Executive in this specially commissioned performance.
From Saturday 24 October you can also join in the Family Drop-In Spies Memory Game. Inspired by themes of the Cold Wa, you an make your own memory game to test your memory skills – and your friends’ too! Or try the Spies Code Wheel - create your own code wheel and write secret messages to your friends!
Entry is free. To find out more visit: http://north.iwm.org.uk/
