Family Fun with Leighton #atHome
Due to the temporary closure of the
Museums on 17 March 2020 due to Covid-19 outbreak (read
the full statement), we have paused all our Family Fun
workshops until further notice.
However, we have created a series
of online resources and fun-filled activities to help you
discover more about Frederic Leighton, his magical house and
Victorian art and culture. We announce new resources every
week on social media so don't forget to follow us
and share your creations online!
Create and Make
Our Create and Make activity
sheets explore famous artworks in Leighton
House and encourage everyone to get
creative.
You will need art materials and
ideally access to the internet for research and a printer if you
want to keep the booklet.
