IT IS not often that you need night vision goggles to visit Worcester City Museum and Art Gallery.

But on Friday, May 16, the Foregate Street museum will be opening after hours and offering visitors the chance to do just that.

From 7pm to 9.30pm, visitors will also tour the basement by torchlight, get creative and make ghostly outfits, and listen to stories about the museum's other-wordly inhabitants.

Night vision goggles will be worn by anyone visiting the Worcestershire Soldier Galleries.

The event is part of National Museums and Galleries Month.
