With its stylish design, zingy illustrations and handy size to pop in
a bag, Take Me To Museums is a must-have accompaniment to every museum
or gallery visit. The book is divided into five 'adventure' chapters.
Every time children take a trip to a museum, a new adventure begins. On
their journey around the gallery spaces they are encouraged to record
their thoughts and draw what they see. Each chapter is unique - so on
every visit they will discover something different. Packed with facts
about museums all over the world, the book also includes a timeline of
museum history and a glossary. To wrap it all up there's a section for
making notes and a page for comparing the five adventures.
