A Costume Adventure

Did you know that clothes, costumes and accessories give clues about the people wearing them, so artists take time to dress their characters and models carefully?

Take an interactive adventure through the Children’s Museum to discover how artists throughout history have used clothes to reveal facts about the people wearing them.

Create your own digital avatar, before exploring original artworks and completing challenges to collect accessories for your character. Then transform yourself into a character from an artwork you have seen by dressing up in a replica costume.

Once you have completed your mission, take a well-earned rest in our reading area or head out into the museum galleries to see if you can spot more hidden messages in artworks! Families with younger children can also enjoy our new toddler space, where children under the age of three can explore costume through simple construction games and activities. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
