Eureka!
Eureka! is a complete hands-on experience, which means that visitors
can actually pick up any object in the museum. It’s a great way for
young visitors to learn about the world, the body, how things work and
move. And when you buy an entry ticket, it allows you to come back as
many times as you want for a whole year for no extra cost. As Eureka! is
right next to Halifax train station, it’s very easy to get to from all over
the country.
Museum of Museums
Every time you visit the Museum of Museums, you’ll be able to see
something different. And that’s because the things you see there are
actually lent by other museums around the country. The museum always
has lots of different vehicles, from ice-cream vans and old motorbikes to
the different kinds of public transport people used to get to work many
years ago. You can find out about all this and lots more.
Cinema Museum
Ronald Grant, who opened the Cinema Museum in the 1960s, travelled
round the country and bought things from cinemas which were closing
down. This included old film posters and wooden cinema seating. At the
museum, you can now see these and much more, including the uniforms
that cinema staff once had to wear.
Please let us know by phone or email if you’d like to come. We’ll be
happy to see you, but we need to arrange a guide, as it’s only possible to
visit the museum on an organised tour.

For each question, choose the correct answer.
Will’s blog
One day my dad said, ‘Why don’t we have a street party?’ This means
that the street is closed so cars can’t use it, and people put tables and
chairs out in the street, then have a party! Dad said there was one in
1977 and he still remembers it well. Everyone loved it! I couldn’t
believe that since 1977 they never had another one. If it was so good,
why not do it again?
We started to organise it, together with some other people. I helped to
make the web page, so everyone on the street knew about the party and
could post their old photos from the party in 1977. There were some
pictures of my dad when he was a kid, together with his friends, who
have moved away from the street now. It was interesting to see that the
buildings on the street haven’t changed at all!
My mum was a bit worried about the party. ‘But a lot of people on the
street don’t really know each other’, she said. ‘What if they don’t have
anything to talk about?’ I just said, ‘Relax, Mum. It’ll be great.’
So, what was the party like? It was fantastic! My friends and I really
liked speaking to an old lady called Louisa. She’s 89 and was telling us
about when she and her friends were our age. So now I always chat to
her when I see her on the street. I didn’t know who she was before, so
I’m glad we had the party.
14   Why was Will surprised?
        A   His father wanted to have a street party.
        B   There hasn’t been a street party for a long time.
        C   Many people remembered the last street party.
15   What did the photos from 1977 show?
        A   The street still looks the same now.
        B   There are more children living in the street now.
        C   The same people still live on the street now.
16   Why was Will’s mother worried?
        A   She thought that the party was too expensive.
        B   She thought that people might not come to the party.
        C   She thought that the guests might not talk to each other.
17   Will and his friends enjoyed
        A   hearing Louisa’s stories.
        B   meeting Louisa’s friends.
        C   telling Louisa about their lives.
18   What is the best title for the article?
        A   Why I love street parties
        B   The street party we had
        C   How to have a street party
