This exhibition has been curated by a team of students from the Museum and Artefact Studies MA degree at Durham University.

In June this year we are celebrating creativity in Durham with our wonderful Summer in the City festival. This month we will be giving Art Tours around the Bailey. This weekend we would love you to make art inspired by the University collection.

Our group for under 5s and their parents and carers includes fun crafts, messy play, storytelling and singing.
