The incredible Tick Tock Marvels exhibition comes to an end in just over a week on 11 October. 
 
We’ve had plenty of time to explore, some of the team have picked their absolute favourite automata... and we asked if they could recreate them. ⚙️
 
Watch until the end and tell us in the comments: who did it best?

Our Junior Club members got creative recently as Anne Marie from Tullie led a fantastic 'Make a Cat' workshop inspired by the Searching for Simmonds city-wide treasure hunt! 🐱🎨

The workshop is part of the Street Museum project, where 20 Tullie artefacts are hidden across the city.

Our young people loved designing and creating their own feline masterpieces while learning more about this exciting community project. A huge thank you to Tullie for delivering such an engaging session and helping bring local heritage to life in a fun and creative way 🐾
