Strange beasts and curious cabinets

This February half-term we ran 9 days of Family Learning activities in the Enchanted Palace at Kensington. Children and adults worked together to make their own cabinets of curiosities, inspired by the strange and wonderful things Kings, Queens, Princesses and Dukes used to collect. We also had giant squid, fantastical jewels, a double-headed monkey and gorgeous gold garments created to go in our large scale cabinet of curiosities.  

Many thanks to everyone who took part and to all the volunteers who helped on the day!
