Ahoy, young explorers!

Set sail on an exciting adventure at the Museum with our pirate-themed "I Spy Bottle" workshop! Kids will become mini treasure hunters as they embark on a thrilling scavenger hunt through the galleries, discovering hidden gems, shiny trinkets, and mysterious pirate loot.

Once the treasures are found, little buccaneers will craft their very own I Spy Bottle, filled with sand, sparkle, and all the treasures they've uncovered. It’s the perfect keepsake to remind them of their high-seas museum quest!
