The Grimwood Museum Adventure
Included with paid museum admission
Join us this August for a brilliantly bonkers museum trail, part of the national Grimwood Museum Adventure with Kids in Museums and Simon & Schuster Children’s Books.
The Grimwood Museum Adventure celebrates the release of Rock the Vote!, the fifth book in the brilliantly anarchic comedy-adventure series Grimwood, by bestselling author-illustrator Nadia Shireen.
Spot Grimwood characters hiding around the museum, elect a new Mayor of Grimwood and design them their very own campaign poster!
Complete the trail and get a free Grimwood sticker. Plus, enter our competition – one lucky winner will receive a signed Grimwood book bundle and a Double National Art Pass + Kids, courtesy of Art Fund.
Grimwood: Rock the Vote!
Welcome to Grimwood – the seriously silly home to a host of crazy characters. And now it needs a new mayor!
Titus the Mayor has finally decided he’s had enough, leaving behind big antlers to fill. With characters new and old throwing their hats into the ring, who has what it takes, who has a hidden agenda, and who is simply in it for the parties? The only people who can decide the fate of Grimwood are . . . the residents of Grimwood. Oh no.
