It follows the exploits of several characters - including a family, a school trip, and some security guards - over the course of a busy day. Along the way readers will discover how the museum team put on exhibitions and how dinosaur fossils are carefully preserved. They will also gain access to the incredible vaults underground that store 99% of a museum's collections!
Stunning illustrations by Laura Martin bring the world of a museum to life - from the high-vaulted ceilings of the entrance hall to the planetarium - with plenty of things to spot in the illustrations for eagle-eyed readers.
By the end of the book kids will have a newfound respect for all of the work that goes on to make every museum experience memorable.
