WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK OUR PARTNERS

We acknowledge that our Museums are built on what always was and always will be the land of the Bunurong People of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to the Elders past and present, as well as to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the Naarm (Melbourne) community and beyond.

 
 

Our Learning Philosophy

MoPA™ is founded on the belief that more play and creativity will paint a brighter future. Our exhibits and activities are crafted to provide rich opportunities for play-based learning and creative exploration.

The very minute a child is born they begin learning patterns of behavior that shape how they’ll eventually manage life’s biggest challenges and opportunities. For decades some of the worlds brightest minds (Einstein, Picasso, Montessori, Malaguzzi, just to name a few) promoted the importance of play and creativity in early learning, but only recently have their philosophies been adopted into modern teaching. The team at MoPA™ are passionate about making a difference in the world, and we’re super proud to be recognised as global leaders and innovators in the fields we play.
