❤️ Gorgeous dreamtime stories for MoPA’s immersive storytime 💛 Take-home craft workshops that bring these magical stories to life 🖤 Dance parties full of First Nations inspiration - SO FUN!!
Our Museums are experiencing a very busy period this week - and so, as always, forward-bookings are absolutely essential!
Choc full of fun, these gORgeous lil’ gift packs are the perrrrfect addition to your MoPA visit during the school hol’s!!
All Goodie Bags represent RIDICULOUSLY great value (we’re talking like… 60% off RRP!). And so to ensure every single lil’ Museum visitor has access to at least one Goodie Bag each over the holidays, for the time being purchases of the Goodie Bags are limited to just one per guest - and Goodie Bags must be purchased prior to your visit (just add one to your basket when you book your visit on our interweb site).
YES, IT’S TRUE!! @katyperry & Daisy Dove Bloom visited MoPA this week. A handful of keen-eyed guests spotted the gorgeous duo exploring the Zoom Room, Painting the VW and singing along at the Dance Party. Thank you so much, Katy, for organising a trip to MoPA while visiting our great city of Melbourne — and for inspiring us all at your AMAZING concerts this week. Big love (til next time 😜). xx
((PS, thank you to our lovely Members who have just sent through some clips of Katy raving about MoPA at her Melbourne concert this week!!))
