Winter School Holidays at Melbourne Museum

Budding makers can experiment with design, symbolism and storytelling through immersive and hands-on activities inspired by ancient Rome and the exhibition Rome: Empire. Power, People.

School holiday highlights include:
- Discover a world four billion years in the making in the new Our Wondrous Planet exhibition.
- Creative Lab: Rise of the Gladiators, where children shape their own gladiator identity through craft and play.
- Mosaic Monuments, a free school holiday activity where children colour their own mosaic tile and add it to a growing participatory artwork.
- Museum Sleepovers return these school holidays giving families exclusive after‑hours access to Melbourne Museum and IMAX before settling in for a night sleeping beneath the dinosaurs.
- Tiny Tours is a program specially designed for younger children to discover the animals and habitats that make our planet extraordinary.
- Dino Days, the museum’s much‑loved free weekly event for budding palaeontologists.
