Behind the scenes at the museum

Bring the museum home this summer!

Have you ever wondered what happens to an astronaut’s space suit after it’s been worn on the Moon? Or how the world’s most valuable diamond is looked after?

Tour the world’s most exciting museums and discover their hidden treasures this summer, right from the comfort of your own home!

The new book Behind the Scenes at the Museum from DK Books is a fascinating guide revealing the hard work, care, and effort that goes into collecting, preserving, and storing some of the world’s most amazing artefacts.

Best of all, it allows you to have a special sneak peek behind the scenes at incredible hidden objects that aren’t normally on public display….

Find out all about how museums work and the folks that make it happen – from how historians care for Anne Frank’s diary to what it takes to excavate and exhibit a woolly mammoth skeleton. How cool is that?
