Exploring the art of Dress ups! (From Jan 2nd til’ Feb 3rd)
While activities like MoPA’s new “cut and paste 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.
Note: All of MoPA’s activities, and the materials required to participate in them, are all included with all regular tickets.
MoPA is open ALL day, EVERY day, for the entire holiday season (including Easter Sunday!) And just in case there was any doubt at all that Easter was going to be anything but a HOOT this year… We thought we’d share some of the fun we’ve had this week already 👯✂️❤️
All the festivities and extra activations are running all week - right up until Easter Sunday.
HIP HOP INTO EASTER AT MoPA! From Mon 7th to Mon 21st, expect tweetworthy storytelling, the cutest hip-hopping dance parties, and of course NEW EASTER CRAFT. Errrrrday, all day, baby!!
Lurrrrve team training!! ❤️ Last night our superest-superstars led the sessions, focusing on all the small things we can do to help families enjoy the greatest potential for learning outcomes. And yeah… OK… We do always find some room to play 😛🎨🕺

Term 1 classes filled up in just a few days - and all our students are re-enrolling, so we’ve decided to DOUBLE the intake spaces for Term 2!! 🥳
All the group sizes are small, the activities are wickedly fun, and the educators are the most talented, engaging, creative teachers ever. This gorgeous little video is just a sneak peak of the action you’ll miss if you don’t enrol in MoPA’s Term 2 ART CLASS ❤️
Heaps of deets on our website - Or call us any time on 1800 00 MOPA (6672).
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!
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.
