Hi, My students are beginning a study of life in a castle in the Middle Ages. Our study is not specific to Lithuania, but I am wondering if the children's Middle Age castle exhibit would be worth a visit. Can you describe the exhibit, and give me an idea of the activities the children could partcipate in? The children are 7,8, and 9 years old. There are 14 of them in the class. Thanks! Mrs. Robinson
