About

From 24 May – 1 June, join us for the Shrapnel Boys: Life on the Home Front Museum Trail, organised by Kids in Museums and Usborne. This national family trail is inspired by Shrapnel Boys, a forthcoming novel by award-winning children’s author Jenny Pearson. The novel is about the friendship and courage of a group of young boys living through the Second World War.

Pick up a free activity sheet to join in. Explore what life was like for children on the home front and search for hidden objects around the museum.
