Leslie Palanker, Assistant Learning Officer said: “Takeover Day is a great way to offer local school children from  predominantly economically deprived areas the opportunity to engage with museums for free, without pressures, and to have open ended learning and fun that gives them a real feeling of accomplishment and personal satisfaction.”
