We are exploring the science of how camouflage works this summer holiday on Wednesday 29th August, from 10.30am to 3pm, with the amazing critters from The Reptile Ranch. Camouflage is adapted from nature and our amazing critters will help children explore this further. Our staff will show you how the military uses camouflage with uniforms, cam cream and the opportunity to create your own camouflage.

Date: 2nd August 2018 to 30th August 2018
The Gurkha Museum’s 2018 Summer Exhibition will focus on the role of the Gurkhas during the Great War and its following conflicts, from 1914-1922.

The Gurkha Museum’s Collections team has used artefacts from within its collections and material from its archive, as well as the help of its museum volunteers, to tell the story of the Gurkha’s First World War in a detailed and respectful manner and hopes to shed more light on an important aspect of the conflict.
The Exhibition is to be held in the McDonald Gallery on the second floor of the Gurkha Museum from 2nd-30th August. Entry is free with admission to the museum.
