Museum in a Cube is a hands-on, make-it-yourself adventure through the museum — designed for families to enjoy together!
Based on Moominland Midwinter, this storytelling and craft session celebrates kindness and generosity - just like Moominmamma, who shares her homemade jam with weary travellers. Together, we'll explore the story and create jam-themed trinkets, badges, or bracelets as a way to share warmth and welcome with others.
