Use your imagination and decorate your window to show us a bit about your world.

Join us for an architecture-themed sensory family activity.

Peek through a window – what can you see? Is the building old or new? Are people working, playing or relaxing?

Choose from our collection of windows from different periods and decorate your own using fun materials, textures and colours. You can also explore what you can see outside your own window and create that too.

Step into our sensory activity and explore architecture through colours, materials and imagination.

What will your window look like?
