Eureka!
Eureka! is a complete hands-on experience, which means that visitors can actually pick
up any object in the museum. It’s a great way for young visitors to learn about the world,
the body, how things work, and move. And when you buy an entry ticket, it allows you to
come back as many times as you want for a whole year for no extra cost. As Eureka! is
right next to the Halifax train station, it’s very easy to get to from all over the country.

Museum of Museums
Every time you visit the Museum of Museums, you’ll be able to see something different.
And that’s because the things you see there are actually lent by other museums around the
country. The museum always has lots of different vehicles, from ice-cream vans and old
motorbikes to the different kinds of public transport people used to get to work many
years ago. You can find out about all this and lots more.
Cinema Museum
Ronald Grant, who opened the Cinema Museum in the 1960s, travelled around the
country and bought things from cinemas that were closing down. This included old film
posters and wooden cinema seating. At the museum, you can now see these and much
more, including the uniforms that cinema staff once had to wear.
Please let us know by phone or email if you’d like to come. We’ll be happy to see you,
but we need to arrange a guide, as it’s only possible to visit the museum on an organised
tour.

For each question, choose the correct answer.
Will’s blog
One day my dad said, ‘Why don’t we have a street party?’ This means that the street is closed
so cars can’t use it, and people put tables and chairs out in the street, then have a party! Dad
said there was one in 1977 and he still remembers it well. Everyone loved it! I couldn’t believe
that since 1977 they never had another one. If it was so good, why not do it again?
____________________________________________________________________________

We started to organise it, together with some other people. I helped to make the web page, so
everyone on the street knew about the party and could post their old photos from the party in
1977. There were some pictures of my dad when he was a kid, together with his friends, who
have moved away from the street now. It was interesting to see that the buildings on the street
haven’t changed at all!
My mum was a bit worried about the party. ‘But a lot of people on the street don’t really know
each other’, she said. ‘What if they don’t have anything to talk about?’ I just said, ‘Relax, Mum.
It’ll be great.’
So, what was the party like? It was fantastic! My friends and I really liked speaking to an old
lady called Louisa. She’s 89 and was telling us about when she and her friends were our age. So
now I always chat to her when I see her on the street. I didn’t know who she was before, so I’m
glad we had the party.
