People often ask… “How do you choose the colour each day?” The truth is that MoPA’s Art Car has taught us some valuable real-life lessons about colour theory 😵💫🏳️🌈🎨🖌️
TOP THREE LESSONS:
3 colours at once = Brown. ALWAYS brown!?
1-2 colours on a dry base = Fun; but mix cautiously.
Any colour on a wet base = So. MUCH. Brown.

Hey Northsiders, guess what? MoPA is coming to Thomastown!
Over one million Melburnians have access to Thomastown in under 20-minutes, and so when this BEAUTIFUL building at 391 Settlement Road became available it was an absolute no-brainer that we secure it for Melbourne’s newest Children’s Museum.
We love love LOVE that this building is rich in heritage and artful history. It was originally a pottery studio, built in 1923, and home to potters from all over the world for more than 50-years. And now, this beautiful big building will be re-imagined as Melbourne’s newest Children’s Museum, jam-packed with immersive learning experiences, but also dance, theatre, storytelling, craft, art, and more, all designed to support the Early Years Learning Framework and Victorian Curriculum.
Tag your northside BFFs and start planning your playdates, excursions and parties. We expect to be ready to open in mid Spring of 2024 and will keep you posted with progress updates. xx 🌈🎨🧑🎨❤️
“Our Earth” starts tomorrow at MoPA!!
Understanding ‘our place in this world’ is a lifelong journey for most. But SO many of the most important lessons are learned early in our lives, at home. To help facilitate the important conversations to have with children, MoPA’s educators have developed a range of new activities called “Our Earth” and this new series starts tomorrow at MoPA. All the new activities run all day, every day. Visit our fancy new website for more detail.
