This is so lovely. My two favourite things combined. I would be so excited if I found a book in a museum 😊❤️
Went to Birmingham Museum yesterday to do the Tourmaline trail, brilliantly organised by @littletigeruk.bsky.social and @kidsinmuseums.bsky.social
Had the best time watching kids take part and sneakily hiding a set of books around the museum for people to find 🥸
