NAIDOC WEEK @ MoPA

Bek Makai 26 Jun 2025


 July 6th-13th.


NAIDOC Week is a special time to recognise and celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

At MoPA, we’ve curated a gorgeous experience for our little visitors—we’ll be reading some beautiful Dreamtime stories and decorating Australian animals with land-inspired colours.

Come celebrate with us as we learn, create and listen together during this important week.

Our Museums are entering a very busy period as we head into winter this year, and so, as always, forward bookings are absolutely essential!
