GET READY, NUNAWADING! NEW MUSEUM OPENS Spring 2025
With ongoing support from sponsors, and thanks to the Australian Arts Councils’ RISE Funding, the MoPA team is excited to announce yet another GINORMOUS world-class Children’s Museum. This time, we’re building a Museum right at the heart of Melbourne’s East – on Whitehorse Road in Nunawading.
A team of more than 100 incredible designers, architects, engineers, agents, consultants, technicians, carpenters, tilers, plumbers, glaziers, electricians, metalworkers, woodworkers, prop makers, artists, craftspeople and painters are now working to bring this amazing new Museum to life (and, yes, it’s the best job ever!).
Whilst the team still have an awful lot of work to do, the new Museum will be ready to open in mid-2025 – so if you’re keen to be among the very first birthday parties, excursions, members or casual guests through the doors at MoPA Nunawading, be sure to pop your name on the mailing list below!!
YES PLEASE, SEND ME MoPA Nunawading updates!
Drop your details below and we’ll keep you updated as the new build progresses. You’ll also be the first to know once MoPA Nunawading is available to book, and when the time comes we’ll even invite you all to our opening celebrations 😘🎉
