Family fun at the London Transport Museum

Throughout February half-term week and the Easter holidays families can join London Transport Museum’s make and take arts and crafts workshops and story time sessions inspired by the 150th Anniversary of the London Underground. Hear about some of the characters that appear in our new exhibition Poster Art 150 – London Underground’s Greatest Designs, like Petra the Penguin and Percy the Policeman, and their Tube travelling story time adventure. Become an artist of the Underground with our make and take poster workshop.
