Island families are in for a treat this coming October half-term, when the Travelling Museum will be setting-up in a town near you.
The first of its kind in the UK, the Travelling Museum isn’t a dusty old bus with boring objects – get ready for actors playing the part of enthusiastic and funny museum owners, as they encourage you to uncover remarkable stories of kings, inventors, speed freaks and artists, travelling from the dinosaur to the modern age, discovering the people who helped make our Island great and some who even helped shape the world.
Visiting five town centres across the Isle of Wight during the October half term (24th-28th October), The Travelling Museum is a free experience open to all, bringing some of the greatest Isle of Wight museums to you. You’ll even get to hold some of the fascinating objects on the bus!
Discover captivating stories and contribute your own. It’s not just us telling you about our Hidden Heroes, we want you to come along to The Travelling Museum and tell us about your Hidden Heroes from the past, either from your community or family.
