Milton Keynes Museum is open throughout the summer holidays for family fun, and plenty of it!
Set within old farmland just outside Wolverton, this is THE Museum dedicated to the ancient and the modern history of the new city.
It tells the story of MK long before the new town became a sketch in town planner notepads and it explores how things have developed through interactive and hands-on exhibits.
Take a stroll down the street of shops with its original facades of many former stores from the area, learn about transport through the centuries, visit the Victorian Parlour, play games from the era, and then check out the work involved on wash day before washing machines and tumble-driers!
The Museum’s toy room will enchant all ages, and don’t forget to enjoy the summer sun in the extensive green space the Museum is situated in – bring your own picnic or pop into the Granary Tea Room for sustenance.
While there, you simply must grab a selfie with the original Concrete Cows!
Over in the Ancient Gallery you can get close up with a mountain of bones, check out the newly restored 180 million year old MK resident, Iggy the Ichthyosaur, and explore the rich Roman heritage from the area.
Each week during the holidays, craft activities will be offered, and at the Museum you pay once and can visit as often as you like for a whole year, for free, which is lucky because there’s so much to see.
On July 19, the Museum will hold its first MKM Culture Fest, a chance to celebrate the many cultures present across the new city, with an all-inclusive event.
Meet local groups, try out activities in the workshops while seeing firsthand the work carried out by some of our many community groups. Tease your tastebuds with new foods, and enjoy lots of entertainment; dancing, singing and storytelling will all feature.
