Join Little Nelson and his Lion family to explore objects from the museum's collections and engage with them through stories, songs, and play!

Charles Edward Young was born in Rotherham in 1863 and had one of the finest butterfly collections in all of South Yorkshire. He collected over 8000 butterflies and Moths some of which you can view in our exhibition Our Habitats, Our Home. Nelson would like to know if you collect anything special during this week’s Nelson’s Cub Club?
