Easter Egg Hunt

Details: The Easter Bunny has been busy hiding eggs all around the museum grounds. Put on your detective hat and follow the trail to crack the clues and search high and low to uncover hidden eggs across the museum. Each stop will uncover a letter and another piece of the puzzle. Complete the hunt by finding all the letters and figure out the special Easter phrase! Then claim your Easter reward from the front desk. Perfect for curious eggs-plorers and egg-cellent detectives of all ages.

Further details: The ceramic eggs were decorated by community groups at the museum including our weekly Arts for Health group, and they were made by our resident potter Selina.
