In the spirit of play, Melbourne Museum is hosting fun, hands-on installations for the young – and young at heart – all summer long.
The museum plaza is lit up with interactive activities designed to bring out your inner child, including the illuminated I Believe Swings and nostalgic Light Seesaws created by local Melbourne art and technology studio ENESS.
Try your luck at ping pong or handball (you’ll need to bring your own equipment after 5pm), add on a late-night screening of Avatar: The Way of Water at IMAX or celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community at the Nocturnal x Midsumma after-hours party on February 10 and get late-night access to the museum.
The kids in your life will love the Bite-Sized Science session on 25 February, which explores the important role of dragonflies and other water bugs in our ecosystem.
