Usually I just point you to the Museum’s website for this kind information – but for the sake of making it super easy I have just cut and pasted all the Museum events into this one handy spot (as you will see there is a lot happening and it’s spread over three different websites).  I hope that helps!  The words below are just a cut and paste – not my own in any way.  And this is not a sponsored post, just for the record.

While Astrid, Snoutlout and the rest of the gang are challenging each other to dragon races (the island’s new favourite contact sport), the now inseparable pair journey through the skies, charting unmapped territories and exploring new worlds.
