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 😘🎉
