Famous faces take their best mate, their mum, their neighbour (whoever they want) for an afternoon at a favourite museum or gallery. As well as getting a peek behind the scenes, seeing what makes a museum tick, it's also the starting point for some great conversations about life, the universe and everything. As well as a chance to eat lots of cake in the cafe. <a href="https://www.artfund.org/whats-on/meet-me-at-the-museum" target="_blank">Meet Me at the Museum is published by Art Fund</a>, the UK’s national charity for art, which raises money for museums and galleries through the <a href="https://www.artfund.org/national-art-pass" target="_blank">National Art Pass</a> – a neat little card that gets you free or reduced-price entry to hundreds of great cultural venues and exhibitions around the country.
