Where in the World discovery space program

Where in the World, the family discovery space program during the school holidays in April 2009, marked the opening of the Museum's new Australian Journeys gallery. The program interpreted the themes and stories of the gallery by inviting visitors to share and compare with their own migration stories. 840 visitors of all ages joined in the discovery space activities.

As a centrepiece, a large printed fabric world map, sponsored by Hema maps and JT Leutenegger, was available for children and adults to stitch their journeys.

Here you can see the development of our grand collective embroidery, with the time-lapse photography taking you across two weeks of stitching.

The discovery space program is now a regular feature of school holidays at the Museum.

Come along next school holidays between 10am and 1pm, Mondays to Fridays,
28 September to 9 October, to celebrate the Holden, Australia's own car and national icon, and other wheeled wonders in the Museum.
