Something suspicious is going on in the museum… and we need your help to crack the case!

This summer, become a Victorian Crime Investigator and explore the museum like a real detective. Search for clues, examine evidence and piece together what really happened as you investigate mysteries hidden throughout our galleries.

Learn how investigators spot clues and discover how crimes were solved in Victorian Britain. From fingerprints and witness statements to suspicious objects and mysterious happenings, every detail could hold the key to solving the case.

With detective trails, hands-on activities and creative challenges, young investigators will need sharp thinking, teamwork and curiosity to uncover the truth.

But the investigation doesn’t stop there. Step back in time and discover what life was really like in Victorian Britain. Explore the jobs people did, the clothes they wore and the challenges they faced, all while exploring our very own Victorian Police, Fire and Ambulance Station.

Perfect for curious minds and budding investigators. Wednesday to Sunday throughout the summer holidays, and all activities are included with standard museum entry.
