Visitors will be able to look into
a recreated 1960s living room and see the first Doctor Who episode
as viewers would have see it broadcast in 1963, as well as pilot a
miniature Dalek around a maze. Youngsters can even design their own
monster and stage their own Doctor Who adventure in a recreated
‘wobbly set’!
Stuart Orme, museum visitor
services and marketing manager for Peterborough City Council, said:
“Doctor Who has been a British cultural icon since it started in
1963 – the world's longest running sci-fi series. The return of the
Doctor and the popularity of the latest series have encouraged us to
create this exhibition, which builds on the success of our event
last year.
“We have had so many requests for a
repeat we have expanded the theme into this exhibition.”
The exhibition will be supported by
a programme of Doctor Who activities, including free fun craft
activities for families each morning from 10.30 am to 12.30 pm
during half-term (Tuesday 29 May to Friday 1 June).
On Saturday 2 June there will be a
Doctor Who fun day with a visit by costumed monsters from the series
as supplied by Hyde Fundraisers, along with activities and a fancy
dress competition. Admission to this event is £2 for adults, £1 for
children (under 5s free) with all proceeds donated to Children in
Need and Help the Aged.
The exhibition runs from Saturday
26 May until Sunday 17 June and is open from 10 am to 5 pm on
Tuesdays to Saturdays and from 12 noon to 4 pm on Sundays and bank
holiday Monday. The museum is closed on other Mondays. Admission is
free.
