Over one million Melburnians have access to Thomastown in under 20-minutes, and so when this BEAUTIFUL building at 391 Settlement Road became available it was an absolute no-brainer that we secure it for Melbourne’s newest Children’s Museum.
We love love LOVE that this building is rich in heritage and artful history. It was originally a pottery studio, built in 1923, and home to potters from all over the world for more than 50-years. And now, this beautiful big building will be re-imagined as Melbourne’s newest Children’s Museum, jam-packed with immersive learning experiences but also dance, theatre, storytelling, craft, and art, all designed to support the Early Years Learning Framework and Victorian Curriculum.
So Northsiders: start planning your playdates, excursions and parties. We expect to be ready to open in mid Spring of 2024 and will keep you posted with progress updates.
We’ll also have some more exciting news to share with those in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs later in the year, as well as our first interstate MoPA xx
Drop your details below and we’ll keep you updated as the new build progresses. You’ll also be the first to know once MoPA Thomastown is available to book, and when the time comes we’ll invite you to our opening celebrations 🙂
