Be inspired by the wonders of nature this autumn at the National Museum of Australia’s hands-on school holiday workshops.

See the wall of ancient rocks and crystals on display in the Great Southern Land gallery, then join their geode exploration workshop. Crack open your own geodes, unearth the crystals inside, and create a take-home artwork with watercolours and sand inspired by these colourful gems. Suitable for ages 5-12 years, children must be accompanied by an adult. Bookings are essential, costs apply.
