The Lapworth Museum of Geology is an Aladdin’s cave of geological wonders presented in a very accessible way. The Museum was redeveloped just a few years ago and was done so well it was a finalist in the ‘Museum of the Year’ awards 2017 – it didn’t win but you can see how beautifully it has been designed.
Rockwatchers have been invited ‘Behind the Scenes’ to explore the stores with its rolling shelves which hold thousands of items the public don’t see. You’ll see the ‘Dudley Bug’ and some of Charles Lapworth’s original geology maps and notebooks. As well as the ‘Behind the Scenes’ there will be a tour of the Museum and a chance to do the Lapworth Geology Trail.
The day is from 1.00 until 5.00 pm and there is a maximum of 28 on the visit. (You must have lunch before you arrive as there are no facilities at the Museum.)
You must be a Rockwatch member to go and the booking fee for this fieldtrip is £2.50 per individual. All children attending and their accompanying adults must book places.
