An outline of my experience as part of the team selecting the shortlisted museums for this year's Family Friendly Awards.

Kids In Museums held their first ever Carnival, showcasing their projects and achievements with current museums to prospective future partners.

Upstairs at Peterborough Museum, an operation is taking place. A school boy writhes whilst another holds him down and his friend takes a saw to his leg; a Victorian gentleman gives directions.

Takeover Day was set up by Kids in Museums to allow children the chance to experience 'meaningful roles, working alongside staff and volunteers to participate in the life of the museum'. Takeover Day 2015 is happening tomorrow, with arts institutions and platforms across the UK allowing over 5000 kids to get behind the wheel. We caught up with Project Administrator, Mikaela Webb to find out more.
