Gallery Takeover: Map Makers

BOOK
NOW
Children
27 & 28 Oct 2026
2:30 - 3:30pm, included in admission
Take a closer look at the art around you, then make something inspired by what you find. Inspired by the landscapes and terrains of Impressions of Light: Masterpieces from MuMa Le Havre and The Bowes Museum, collect ideas and inspiration to use in creating your own map. Guided by a member of the Learning Team, you’ll consider the nature and terrain found in our landscape paintings and put these ideas to use in the Create Space as we become map makers.

Starting in Reception, recommended for ages 5+, children under 14 must be accompanied. 

Please contact the learning team at  learn@thebowesmusuem.org.uk if you have access requirements, so the session can be adapted to suit your needs.    

To reserve your place click ‘book tickets’ and select the ticket that suits you. We’ll confirm your membership when you arrive, or you can pay for a day ticket/ join as a member on the day.
