Learning starts here

The Children's Gallery is a wondrous place for babies to 5-year-olds where children will explore, play and learn.

Future palaeontologists will excavate fossils in our dinosaur dig; budding botanists will traverse our discovery garden, exploring plants and stories; young curators can gaze at our specially selected museum objects, and for everyone who loves to dance, there is a 'camouflage disco' where children turn into spotty and stripy disco dancing animals.

This unique gallery will support families, carers, educators and children to learn together.

The exhibition experiences combine hands-on exploration and discovery, open-ended play-based learning, extraordinary immersive environments and unique museum collection objects.
