Mischief at the Museum: The Great Plant Plot

We love all things green at The Beaney. You can find plant life in paintings, objects, and even fossils. But real plants have started popping up throughout the building! A trail of notes has revealed a mischievous scheme! Our newest staff member, Herb McLeaf, has been secretly sowing seeds, aiming to make The Beaney bloom like never before.

Help us before the museum becomes a jungle!

• Explore the museum collection
• Collect stamps to fill your green house
