In addition to a top-to-toe inside-out renovation, every lil’ corner of this heritage-listed 100-year-old pottery barn now features thoughtfully-crafted experiences and exhibits – and they’re all built on foundations of creative, play-based learning. You can expect rich and modern learning experiences, sensory spaces, parent rooms, party rooms, art rooms, excursion rooms, a beautiful family cafe, world-class excursions for ELC, Foundation, Year 1 & 2, and so soooo much more.

“Until I became a grandparent I didn’t understand the love, and just the emotion…”

Grandparents are free at MoPA this summer (3 weeks to go!!) and it has hands-down been the most beautiful environment in the Museums all summer long. The most special part of this time is that what we’re seeing most is 3-generations — all creating beautiful memories together. Grandparents are just visiting with the kiddlybites — it’s a full family affair. 

Just. Gorgeous. ❤️
