BIGGEST NEWS EVER!!

You’ve probably spotted MoPA’s founders, Billie and Tom, running around the museums. But next week you’ll see LOTS of them online too, sharing the biggest news in MoPA’s history.

Biggest news EVER? Yep.

Here’s a lil’ hint from Billie and Tom...

Inspired by all the incredible children’s museums overseas, we came home from a trip six years ago convinced that Australia deserved something just as special.

And, so, with more optimism than sense, we took the plunge: we designed and built our first museum. It’s been a roller coaster since then. In six years this uber talented team of now 120+ people has achieved some huge milestones:

🏛️ 4 (FOUR!) world-class Children’s Museums
🎟️ 1 million visits across the network so far!
🎉 200,000+ party guests at 6,000+ events
⭐ 3,000+ beautiful guest reviews

Building four museums has been exciting. But on top of that, we’ve ALSO built the systems required to support a national network of 20+ children’s museums.

Next week, we’ll invite you to be part of what comes next for MoPA. We can’t say too much more just yet. But keep your 👀 out for a very. big. announcement...

❤️ Billie & Tom

Starting… NOW!! All lil’ ones enjoying our Sweet Studio Craft will be invited to make their very own CAKES!! 🍰 🧁 ❤️ This activation is on NOW at all our Museums. x

DYK: It’s Foster Carers Week this week!! This year we’re celebrating with the theme ‘Open Doors. Open Hearts. Open Opportunities’. This theme recognises foster carers who generously open their homes and hearts to help children and young people feel safe and connected, while creating opportunities for the future.

At MoPA we are so so so sooooo proud of our connection with @mackillopfamilyservices and other foster services such as @meli.community. Thank you, to each and every foster carer, for all that you do!

All foster kiddos and their families enjoy free access to MoPA: it’s the very LEAST we can do to support some of the children and families in our community who need it the most.
