In London, a national museum has invited a group of children to curate an exhibition, for the first time ever. Young students from nearby St Vincent's Catholic Primary have delved into the famous Wallace Collection to find out and display secrets of the past.

It's children's sense of wonder that led to the exhibition entitled "Shhh.It's a Secret". They spent a year to prepare from selecting the lay-out of the exhibits to writing the labels.

Themed on ideas of secrecy and discovery, the exhibition features a wide array of stunning pieces. These include an 18th century snuff box, an elegant French writing desk and Nicolas Mae's enchanting painting, "The Listening Housewife".

It's not just a journey of learning but also a team work experience for the 12 young curators. But despite the similar ages, there was some disagreement among the participants. The boys insisted on armor,swords and pistols being included while the girls wanted lovely pictures and beautiful objects.
