To the production and studio teams from @channel7 - thank you. You were an absolute delight to host. The way you made all our staff and guests feel confident in themselves and valued as participants in your broadcast is a testament to your genuine kindness and expertise 😘 xx
Some beautiful moments of wonder captured by our guests…

Incredible teachers, chef prepped snacks on tap, inspiring projects, gorgeous new friends, what more could you want!!

Get ready for a pop of pumpkin fun this Halloween! Inspired by Yayoi Kusama’s iconic spotted pumpkins, children are invited to design their very own timber pumpkin.
Wear it as a necklace or hang it up at home - the perfect mix of art, style, and spooooky fun. You do NOT wanna miss THIS one!

An entire year in the making - but it’s finally ready. Can’t WAIT to show you all this incredible Museum!! Please remember to book ahead because all sessions in all our Museums are always operating with our regular comfy capacity limits. x
BIG KNOWN FACT: The BIG blocks ROCK!
LITTLE KNOW FACT: MoPA is the exclusive distributor!
For years we witnessed how engaging these beautiful BIG blocks are. We gathered so much evidence in their outcomes, and developed so much belief in their impact, that we eventually decided to establish a manufacturing partnership that would enable us to place the blocks in ALL our Museums. But what we also learned was that all sorts of other schools, museums, galleries, ELCs (even wineries!) would love a set of BIG blocks of their own. So we started to provide BIG blocks to all of these wonderful organisations!
Fast forward to today = MoPA is now the exclusive distributor. We send BIG block sets all over APAC!! And nothing gives us more joy than receiving all the photos of all the creations children are dreaming up.
So... If you’d like a set of blue blocks for YOUR facility, please jump onto the website or give us a shout on 1800 00 66 72 to learn more. xx
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!!
