A small, free display of artwork made by children from five local schools with artist Tina Ramos Ekongo, inspired by the museum's African collections and marking Black History Month. You'll find it in the Top Floor Community Hub over half-term only. It's a nice add-on to a museum visit, especially for children who like seeing what other young people have made.
