And after almost a full year in design and construction, we just can’t WAIT to show you all of what’s on offer at Melbourne’s new Children’s Museum.

What does red sound like? Yellow smell like? Pink feel like? MoPA’s all-senses colour wheel is a beautiful introduction to abstract thinking for lil’ cuties. It’s a wondrous experience to share with your children (you can almost SEE their brains ticking away) and that’s why it’s 100% our fav… ONE of… our favourite exhibits. 😜🎨♥️
Massive progress on the new Museum build this week. Just 4 weeks to go northsiders!! CAN’T WAIT!!
