Try your hand at archaeology! Discover foreshore finds from the Thames and learn about mudlarking and river archaeology with the friendly Museum team.

Sift through a sandpit and discover real foreshore finds! Led by our Museum expert, children and accompanying adults will have opportunity to handle intriguing museum objects found nearby in the river Thames and try out their archaeological skills. See related river-finds from the Museum’s own collection – including coins, a mace head; even a fossilised mammoth’s tooth – and learn about their fascinating history. A family-friendly activity suitable for all ages.

A free accompanying video ‘tour’ of foreshore finds and related objects will be available in September

Sessions run at 11am to 12noon, 1pm to 2pm and 3pm to 4pm
