Overview

PlayUP is the Museum of Australian Democracy's imaginative family space with activities to educate, excite and challenge young minds.

With listening pods and a roleplay Kindness Café, a fuzzy felt wall and facilitated craft activities, PlayUP has a range of exciting and immersive experiences that flip the traditional idea of museums completely on its head.
