This winter break, the Hamilton Museum of Steam & Technology is partnering with the Hamilton Children’s Museum to host a free drop-in activity centre all about archaeology! Archaeologists are a lot like detectives; they figure out how people lived in the past by looking at the objects they left behind. Visitors will assume the role of Archeologist using brushes to uncover artifacts and screens to sift found objects and interpret the items they have discovered.

Dates:          January 2 - 7, 2024 (Closed Mondays)

Time:            12:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Ages:            3 to 12 years (Adult supervision required)

Cost:             FREE entry to the Activity Centre. Regular museum admission rates apply.
