A MUSEUM is turning its attention to the Tudor era for its latest exhibition.

From today until March 14, the Fulling Mill Museum of Archaeology, in Durham, is hosting Tudor Times.

Aimed at children, it explores areas including home life, crime and punishment, buildings, schooling, exploration and fashion with interactive exhibits.

Among the activities available to visitors are trying on Tudor clothes, playing word games and Tudor furniture.

A teachers' pack to accompany the exhibition is available from the museum.

To mark the opening, Dr Adrian Green, of Durham University, will give a free public lecture at 2pm tomorrow, in the museum.
