The Mouse House is especially for our youngest visitors and their families. Designed to excite curiosity and encourage young children to explore, the Mouse House gallery is full of surprises introducing the museum’s diverse collections.
With a mouse hole for crawling, bespoke historical and animal dressing up (like pharaohs and dinosaurs), books, story-times and activities with Georgina, Amy and the Great North Mouse.
Young children and their families are also welcome to join free Mouse House activities. Visit the what's on section of our website to find out about our regular Mouse House events.
