Unleash your creativity in Melbourne Museum's digital art class. Each month offers a fresh theme, from ancient fossils and dazzling minerals to delicate feathers, vibrant insects, and even fashion inspired by the museum’s extraordinary collection.

This National Science Week, in Digital Art Class: Instruments of Discovery, you'll explore the fascinating tools scientists use to decode the universe – from microscopes and telescopes to curious gadgets of the past.

Set in a digital immersive space, this workshop blends creativity and science as you learn digital art skills on iPad Pros using Procreate to draw from real museum objects.
