The Museum of Brisbane is excited to introduce its latest addition: the Micro Museum. This innovative and thoughtfully designed space is dedicated to the curators of tomorrow, inviting kids of all ages to bring their big ideas and creativity to life. Opening just ahead of the school holidays, the Micro Museum is a permanent feature that promises year-round fun and engagement.

Children are encouraged to get hands-on, selecting, sorting, and arranging curated collections from a vast array of mini vintage and second-hand treasures. Forget stuffy glass displays; here, every small piece has a unique story to share. This dynamic environment fosters creativity and curiosity, making it a must-visit for families looking to explore and experiment together.

What to expect at the Micro Museum

Interactive and Immersive Experiences

At the Micro Museum, kids can spend as little or as long as they like in a world of immersive experiences and interactive activities. From imaginative collages to badge-making and toy creation, the possibilities are endless. These activities are designed to be both fun and educational, encouraging children to think like curators and storytellers.

The space is inspired by the upcoming Precious exhibition, which showcases collector’s pieces relating to Brisbane and curated by locals. Multi-generational collaboration is encouraged, making it a place where families can come together to create and discover.

Special holiday activities for the whole family

The Museum of Brisbane has a packed program of special activities for the Easter holidays. From the Monster Mashup collage workshop to the Precious Punk Badge Studio, there are plenty of options to keep kids entertained and engaged. These activities are either free or as we like to say as 'cheap as chips', making them accessible for everyone. For more exciting Easter activities and family-friendly experiences, check out our roundup of must-do activities for kids this Easter.

For tweens and teens, the Crafty Movers Workshop offers a unique opportunity to craft and construct a moveable toy using simple automaton principles. Inspired by the vintage windup toy collection, this workshop includes a guided tour of the Precious exhibition, providing a deeper understanding of the objects on display.
