Every year at the Summer Exhibition, we provide free activity art trays for kids, full of materials for them to make their own mini-masterpieces inspired by the works they experience in the galleries around them.

Art trays can be requested from the information desk in the front hall of Burlington House. We hope to see your creations soon!
