museum at home

Mamma KNOWS we all love a trip to our fab museums in Melbourne. Whilst we can’t visit them in person at the moment, the clever team at Museums Victoria has found a great way for us to continue our museum adventures, bringing all the museum experiences and experts to us in our homes.
Introducing Museum at Home, a new project from Museums Victoria, enabling us to connect, explore and learn more from our favourite museums every day. You can also join their 10 week learning program over Term 2 where they share weekly curriculum-aligned education resources via Museum at Home Learning, were the museums education experts have developed a range of science, humanities and STEM activities for teachers and students.
There is so much to explore online, follow them on their social channels to see what goes on behind the scenes. Oh, and it is worth subscribing to their email updates too - click here and scroll to the bottom.
