Leeds
Three groups of friends from different primary schools visit the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds at night. With no adults around, they are free to go on their own journeys of discovery. The museum contains artefacts from a thousand years of warfare, including armour from the age of Henry VIII, the largest suit of elephant armour in the world, and machine guns from the First World War. It also features exciting live combat displays.
What objects will spark their imaginations? Will they be inspired? Bored? Amazed – or confused? And although the kids are on their own, they are being watched – by the museums' curators. They provide a light-hearted commentary throughout each programme. What do the kids like? What do they find boring? Do the objects in the museum mean anything to them? How do they imagine the past? All these questions are answered during the programmes – often in funny or unexpected ways.
Can museums and the historical objects they contain inspire kids brought up in an age of tech. Are they still relevant in the 21st Century?
