Twilight Visits – Museums of Archaeology & Anthropology and Sedgwick
On a lively “Twilight” evening, our group of 9 families (29 people in total) enjoyed special after-hours visits to the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology and the Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences in Cambridge. Despite minor transport disruptions, the event was a great success and provided an exciting and memorable experience for everyone involved.
