Coming Soon: MoPA Adelaide
Yep, That’s Right… MoPA Is Coming To Adelaide!
Thanks to the funding MoPA received from the Australia Council for the Arts (now Creative Australia), and the unwavering support from our sponsors, the MoPA team is excited to announce that our next Children’s Museum is opening right here in the heart of Adelaide – and it’s going to be HUGE!
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 has an awful lot of work to do, the new Museum is being built as you read this text – so if you’re keen to be among the very first birthday parties, excursions, members or casual guests through the doors at MoPA Adelaide, be sure to pop your name on the mailing list below!!
YES PLEASE, SEND ME MoPA ADELAIDE 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 Adelaide is available to book, and when the time comes we’ll even invite you all to our opening celebrations 😘🎉

ARVO ART CLASSES ARE BACK!! Term 4 is off to a ROARING start! Such amazing creations. And such happy lil’ artists.
We have spots left in Monday and Tuesday afternoon classes (4 til 5pm). Enrol NOW ❤️ And please shout out with any questions!!
Introducing “Patchwork Portraits” NOW SHOWING at MoPA - from OCT 6 right up until NOV 30.
“Emotions and Well-being” is a hugely important component of the Early Years Learning Framework (“EYLF”); and it’s what MoPA’s brand new activities are all about. Every child that visits MoPA this month will be invited to use our craft templates and materials to develop their very own conceptual characters - and then to bring their creations to life using a range of powerfully emotive features.
Happy apples?
Grumpy brushes too?
Surprised Pops?
Maybe... Maybe not.
It’s entirely up to you :)
Our past character-building workshops have been HUGE - and we’re positive that “Patchwork Portraits” will be no exception. We can’t wait to see you all at your local MoPA this October!

That’s right! Monster Madness is BACK and it’s showing from Monday Sep 8 until Sunday Oct 5.
This SuPeR sCaRy (not!) puppet making activity has been a huge hit with our little learners; probably because it encourages children to streeeeetch their already incredible imaginations. It also happens to be a brilliant opportunity to work on those all-important problem solving and fine-motor skills - with lots of colouring, testing, changing, cutting and pasting.
All guests to all our Museums are invited to use the materials and media provided to dream up a unique monster-osity. And as always, all our activities are included in the ticket price. We can’t wait to see all your gorgeous creations!!
Make something super special for Dad (and all the important people in your life!) at MoPA this week. This gorgeous activation is available at all our Museum’s and runs right up until Fathers Day!! x
📕 BOOK WEEK @ MoPA! 🌈 STARTS MONDAY!
