What
is the Museum Club for?
The
Museum Club was set up to provide an exciting junior membership scheme for young
people up to the age of 15 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 2007 we have totally updated Museum Club Membership by
putting together a joining pack for new members. This includes a membership card,
badge, postcards, flying Pterosaur glider and various Museum trails and quizzes,
all contained in a smart blue pack.
How
much does it cost?
Annual membership costs just £7.50 and
is open to all children up to 15 years of age although most current members are
between 8 and 12.
To
join, just ask at Reception or come along to one of our Club activities and join
on the day.
Meetings
are normally held once a month on Saturday mornings
Members
under 8 years old must be accompanied by an adult during club events
