Why Kids Aloud?
Over half of UK parents who took part in our research told us that they worry about taking their children to museums or galleries. That’s why we've launched Kids Aloud at museums across the UK – special timeslots and events where your children are invited to be as loud and energetic as they like. It’s a joyful way to show that museums aren’t just for quiet adults, they’re for curious, creative, and yes, loud kids too.
