Go wild with the National Wool Museum pop-up museum

These January school holidays, let's get wild!

We're partnering with our wonderful friend, the National Wool Museum (NWM), to bring you their pop-up museum at Ocean Grove Library and Corio Library.

Start with an immersive and interactive wildlife Story Time, before diving into creative crafts inspired by the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition.

There'll be plenty of opportunities to explore fascinating old-time toys, books and costumes from the NWM's Handling Collection.

Participants can also enter the draw to win family passes to the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition.

These sessions are perfect for children aged 3+ and their adults, with no bookings required.
