Autumn School Holiday Program

Overview

Be inspired by the wonders of nature this autumn at the National Museum of Australia's hands-on school holiday workshops.

Rock on
See the wall of ancient rocks and crystals on display in the Great Southern Land gallery, then join their geode exploration workshop. Crack open your own geodes, unearth the crystals inside and create a take-home artwork with watercolours and sand inspired by these colourful gems. Suitable for ages 5-12 years, children must be accompanied by an adult.

Terrariums and climate school
Explore the effects of climate change on the Australian continent in the Great Southern Land gallery and hear from experts about their work in this dynamic field. Create your own terrarium and stabilise its climate to ensure a sustainable environment for your mini ecosystem. Suitable for ages 12–17 years, under 18s must be accompanied by an adult.
