Join Stromness Museum while there’s free entry for all this February, for the Tourmaline and the Museum of Marvels Trail from Saturday 15th February until Saturday 1st March 2025, organised by Kids in Museums and Little Tiger. The national trail for families is inspired by Tourmaline and the Museum of Marvels by Ruth Lauren – a fun, feminist adventure series for children aged 9 – 12. Tourmaline’s strange new magical powers are causing chaos and she desperately wants to know how to control them. When she receives a mysterious postcard promising her answers, she sets off on an unforgettable adventure to the Museum of Marvels. Pick up a free activity sheet to join in at Stromness Museum. Search for Tourmaline, her friends and an assortment of magical objects hiding in the museum. Complete the spotter trail and get a Tourmaline sticker! Children can also design their very own Museum of Marvels. Three winning designs will win a signed Tourmaline book bundle and a National Art Pass (plus kids) courtesy of Art Fund – giving one adult plus children under 16 free entry to hundreds of museums, galleries and historic houses across the UK as well as 50% off major exhibitions!
