Join us for the coolest work event you’ll attend this winter
Hear from Museum curators and special guest Annalise Rees from the Australian Antarctic Program for insights into the stories, objects and ideas in our new Antarctica exhibition. Then explore the exhibition at your own pace, with pop-up talks from the Museum’s Education team.
You’ll also gain an overview of our Antarctica school programs and how they connect students from K–12 with Science, Geography, History and Civics and Citizenship.
This session is a valuable opportunity to deepen your understanding of Antarctica as an extreme environment and its global significance, while experiencing the exhibition ahead of your visit with students.
If you’ve ever wondered what draws people to the most extreme environment on Earth – or what Antarctica can teach us about sharing the planet – this professional learning session is for you.
