Mid-Term ART CLASS Enrolments: Now Open!

“This week at MoPA’s AFTERNOON ART CLASSES we learned about Yayoi Kusama. We created spotty mushrooms, met our new teachers, made friends with our classmates, and earned some very special rewards!”

Term 1 runs for 8 weeks, and there is still 7 weeks left - so if you’d like to join the fun mid-term (and pay only for the remaining classes!!) enrolments are now open. Head to www.mopa.com.au or call us on 1800 00 66 72 to learn more!

Grandparents are FREE for FEB!! ❤️

Yep. That’s right. FREE. So what are we waiting for? Let’s get out there and cut some intergeneration shapes on the MoPA D-floor!!

To celebrate the beautiful role grandparents play in our lives and our families, we’ve decided to rename February to “Forever Young February” here at MoPA.

Now… The bouncers are under strict instruction to shuffle all grandparents to the front of the queue - and waive their ticket price... All. February. Long!

Note: We do still require that grandparents book online - but only to help us manage the comfy capacity limitations we maintain at MoPA (ticket prices at the checkout for grandparents are $0).

And so - Meemaw, Nene, Gigi, Glam, Pa, Zayde, Pop, Babu, Grandad, Gramps and Abuelo - we’ll see you ALL on the dance floor at MoPA this FEB, to show these young folk how that chicken dance SHOULD be done! 💃🕺🐔🎉

Term 1 Art Classes start in just 2 weeks (Feb 3rd)!! 🥳

Our Thomastown, Sandringham and Geelong Museum’s ALL still have a handful of spaces left for the Monday and Tuesday afternoon classes. Do NOT miss out - jump onto the website now to secure your enrolment in the 8 week Term 1 program!! 😘

This is going to be FUUUUNNNNN!!!!

WORST kept secret of 2025? 🤔 MoPA is coming to Nunawading!!!

No one imagined we’d find the perfect location for a Children’s Museum in Melbourne’s East so early in 2025. But it happened. It’s a thing. Work has already begun on a HUGE new Children’s Museum - right here in the heart of Melbourne’s EAST... On Whitehorse Road, Nunawading!

The Museum is set to open mid-2025. To learn more, watch the progress unfold, and get early access, be sure to join the mailing list. Head to the Nunawading page on our website for all the juicy deets.

LOVE YOU NUNAZ. SEE YOU SOON!

THE ART OF DRESS UPS!
Showing From Jan 2nd til’ Feb 3rd

While activities like dress-ups may seem like harmless fun, these joyful shenanigans can actually be VERY. Serious. Business...

Children (and sometimes adults!) dress up because it’s just fun, of course. But children also use these make-believe opportunities to experiment with personas and scenarios that reach far beyond regular everyday life. The dress-up games they play enhance their creative skills, and it’s also now proven that children build fundamental social skills through play; and these skills pay dividends well into adult life.

All of MoPA’s new dress-up activities, and the materials required to participate in them, are all included with all regular tickets.
