Saturday at the Museum :-D

One of our Saturday "Family-Day-Out" is our Museum trip.  Today, we went to the Wardown Park Museum about 3.5 miles from home. Autumn is clearly visible now. Not just in my back garden but everywhere. most of the trees in my back garden are sans leaves at the moment. The apple tree is in a sorry state - branches and two too-ripe apples left. For now, I have no desire to climb.

Oh yes, back to our day-out, we are quite lucky because there are a number of exhibitions on at the Museum - the Ancient Greek , Hat (Yes! Hat) and Luton Life Exhibitions.  Enjoy  & Have a Good Sunday

One of the things that I like about the museum here is that there will provide costumes for the children to try on. Amazingly, the costumes were just left in a box (unguarded) and none of it goes missing! It will be very nice if the same concept can be applied to the museums back home.  For sure it is interesting - because the children can try on our traditional costumes or any costumes at all depending on the exhibition at no extra cost.

  2. Salam MM ... Comel nyer muzium tu. I rasa satu konsep yang baik juga kan, bila anak-anak dapat mencuba costumes yang ada kat situ. Secara tidak langsung dia orang ni tak akan rasa bosan dan tahu pasal sejarah sesuatu perkara tu. Contoh nya baju yang dia orang pakai tu ... untuk apa, kenapa dan macam -macam lagi lah.

    Tapi kalau di buat kat sini, rasa nyer mahu bersepai baju tu semua kut sebelum orang yang ke100 pakai ... hehehehe
