All this and more awaits you on Thursday 12 May from 6pm! Drop by, down a drink, have a nibble and a natter, marvel at all the magnificent objects on display and WRITE A LABEL! How often do you get to make up completely fictitious stories about collection objects?? Make the most of it!

SEE YOU THERE!
