Objects are a key part of children’s exploration of their world. Whether that’s everyday or historical objects, the things that children encounter help ignite their curiosity and fire their imaginations. Why not use the resources on this page in your settings to support that exploration or, better still, why not bring your children to our museums and galleries where they can meet amazing objects up close? Huge or tiny, familiar or needing explanation, the objects children come across in our venues can spark conversations, link to children’s interests or even trigger new ones.
