There's loads to do and see this summer at the Mercer Art
Gallery and the Royal Pump Room Museum.
Visit the Harrogate Open Art Exhibition at the Mercer
Art Gallery where you can celebrate art in different media created
by talented local artists.
Use the specially created trail to guide you around the
exhibition, which will also lead you across the road to the Royal
Pump Room Museum where you can discover more about Harrogate and
its history.
Also at the Mercer Art Gallery you can visit the seaside in
our 'beach' play area where there are activity sheets mto do and
toys to play with.
You can also enter our 'Create your own Postage Stamp'
competition.
Make 'Summer Felt Craft' greeting cards at a workshop on
Wednesday 6th August from 2-30pm, £3 per child. Booking
is advised.
And on Wednesday 13th August just drop in anytime between 1pm
and 4pm to make Pipe Cleaner Bugs and Monsters! 50p a go.
At the Royal Pump Room Museum you can
have a go at our 'Little Gems Adventure' by borrowing a
backpack with a trail and full of toys to help you explore the
museum. And why not 'Guess the Mystery Objects' in our game?
(Deposit required, returned on exit).
You can also explore Ancient Egypt in two exhibitions
featuring treasures from our Egyptology collection such as mummy
masks, canopic jars, jewellery, amulets and shabtis.
There are lots of things to do including dressing up as
an Egyptian, writing in hieroglyphs, making jewellery and
pretending to be a scientist discovering all about the Ancient
Egyptian objects!
And you can make your own mummy hand later in the
holidays!
