Spring School Holidays at MoB

Museum of Brisbane has a exciting line-up of FREE and low-cost school holiday activities for the entire family, on each day from Saturday 14 September to Sunday 29 September, from writing stories and creating zines to remixing photographs and the ultimate kids-only adventure through a closed museum!

Teen Zines Workshop, 18 + 25 September, 2pm-4pm, Cost $30 

Creative teens can learn the art of photo collage zine-making from artist Izzy Heaton. This hands-on workshop kicks off with an inspiring tour of the New Light: Photography Now + Then exhibition followed by an artist talk, with Izzy sharing valuable tips and tricks in the art of zine-making. Teens will get to design their own unique zine with a variety of provided materials including old photos and magazines.

New Light Young Explorers Tour, Tue, Wed + Thu, 9.15am-10.15am, Cost $15

MoB is opening its doors before hours just for you with the return of the Young Explorers Tour.

They’ll be able to get hands on with some real-life artworks with a special interactive touch trolley before trying their hand at making a creation to take home. Parents and carers can choose to tag along or sit back and relax in the Dome Gallery while they wait.
