The Holburne Museum in Bath is offering a great range of family events during the Easter holidays
Mick Peter: Old Ghosts
Throughout the whole of Easter holidays, you can pay a visit to Old Ghosts, an exhibition of new work by Glasgow-based artist, Mick Peter. Old Ghosts takes a wry and affectionate look at the idea of history as an industry. In several surprising interventions, inside and outside the Holburne Museum, visitors will encounter amusing tableaux which appear to be cartoons that have come to life.
You can book in advance here, or you can also just purchase tickets on arrival at the Museum.
