Melton Museum is inviting Deborah Miles to choose a unique object for an online Archaeological Illustration workshop. Deborah previously worked with the University of Leicester's Archaeology and Ancient History department, and now runs her own art & heritage business, DM Artology. You will learn more about the fascinating Roman bird brooch - and bring it to life through drawing, with Deborah's help and guidance.

I enjoyed this museum with my youngest daughter who went here with me in December and to the Xmas tree festival as well as her mother and father combined
There were fox hunting clothes in the tall glass cabinets leaves that you stand on on the floor and they dissapear and a coffin with a person in it glass which is how they used to bury people of a certain origin
It’s worth a muse while in the town and the place is free to go into.as well

My niece and I have just had a lovely time visiting the museum on a wet and miserable afternoon. There was loads for us to do and see, and she thoroughly enjoyed looking for the clues! She is also really happy… with the dream catcher we made and enjoyed using all the craft items you made available. Thanks for a great visit. We will definitely return.
