Hands-on History

Hands-on History brings World War I to life through direct experience. Kids and adults alike get to examine and handle authentic artifacts from the Great War, making history tangible rather than distant. This family-friendly program welcomes visitors of all ages, so whether you're bringing preschoolers or teenagers, there's something engaging for everyone to explore. The program runs on select days throughout July 2026, offering a hands-on alternative to traditional museum viewing. It's a great option if your family learns best by touching and interacting with objects, or if you want to spark curiosity about this pivotal historical period in an interactive way. Plan to spend time in the Main Gallery where the activities take place, and check the museum's website for specific times and any ticket information.
