The Little Kingdom is an interactive space designed for children to touch, play and learn. This hands on experience includes play materials and a setting designed to create a special ancient Roman space that is fun and educational. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times (and adults can enjoy the space alongside their child). Open during all regular museum hours.
