Is your family up to the challenge of taking on some of the Haynes Discovery Missions? Working together you will need to employ all of your detective skills. With each mission your first task will be to identify an object or objects contained within a mystery bags. A member of our team of Volunteers will be on hand to talk you thought the task and help with the identification as well as sharing knowledge about the objects. Once, the object/s have been identified you will move onto the next part of the mission: You will have to find some hidden information in the Museum Collection in order to answer a specific question or list some accurate facts.
In total there are eight exciting new missions for this summer. Aimed at families, this is a fantastic chance to explore the Museum and our Education Centre, as well as getting hands on with some artefacts from motoring’s past and present.
