Make Your Own Ancient Manuscript: Drop-In Activity

Come along to our drop in activity , inspired by our temporary exhibition “Maimonides from Scratch”.
Join us in our Learning Studio from 11am to 3pm, for a hands-on creative activity inspired by the remarkable documents of the Cairo Genizah – the archive where the writings of Maimonides were preserved for centuries.
Explore how history was recorded by making your own paper from recycled materials, then stain your handwritten creations with tea and coffee to produce authentic-looking facsimiles. You can also design and illustrate your own comics inspired by the works on display in the gallery.
This relaxed, drop-in activity is suitable for children aged 7 and up, accompanied by an adult.
