What is the Museum Club for?
The Museum Club was set up to provide an exciting junior membership scheme for young people who wish to become more involved with Dorset County Museum and to learn about its collections and resources. It also provides a special programme of organised activities designed to inspire, inform and entertain its members.

What can members do?
Club Membership allows younger people to explore the Museum on their own terms and to gain interesting insights through special 'behind the scenes' experiences. As these are often provided at times when the Museum is officially closed to other visitors, members can discover what really happens after everyone else has gone home!

Membership Pack
For 2010 new Museum Club Members will receive a special joining pack. This includes a membership card, badge, postcards, flying Pterosaur glider and various Museum trails and quizzes, all contained in a smart pack.

How much does it cost?
Annual membership for 2010 costs just £10 and is aimed at children aged 7-14 years of age. Children aged 8 and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all club events and for off-site activities parents are encouraged to come along and join in the fun.

To join, just ask at Reception or come along to one of our club sessions and join on the day.

Meetings are normally held once a month on Saturday mornings
