Over 60 children enjoyed tours of the Harris' collections with our special puppet guides.
Puppet company DNA have made special puppets for the Harris, based on two of our collectors, Mrs Idonea French and Mr Richard Newsham. And then there is also a cat called Harris, who knows the museum like the back of his paw.
There were three tours in August as part of the Harris' summer workshop programme.
