Bilingual Storytime

Discover a magical storytime adventure at the Museum.

Join us for Bilingual Storytime – a warm and welcoming session where families enjoy a beautiful picture book and a fun craft activity. Each term, we explore one special story together, with every session featuring a different language. It’s a unique opportunity to experience the same tale through a rich tapestry of cultures and voices across the term.

All parents, carers, and children are welcome. Pram parking and lockers are available for your convenience.
