WE CAN’T THINK OF A MORE IMPORTANT CELEBRATION…
Every one of us (including YOU!) is unique and special. Harmony Week is a celebration of these differences.
To help visualise and celebrate the diversity of our gorgeous MoPA community we’re inviting guests to decorate their own character and we’ll add your art to our community collage in the museums. Starts Monday!
BE INSPIRED... BY NATURE!
As the Autumn breezes blow in, and the bugs fill the garden, we’re reminded that nature truly is one of the greatest sources of creative inspiration. MoPA’s educators have been digging in the dirt (not even joking)... and, inspired by all the furry, wriggly, winged things they found, they’ve designed some gorgeous new activities that celebrate nature.
“THE ART OF NATURE” runs from March 3 to May 31. All the activities and art supplies are included with your ticket.
