Sense of Wonder

I met my friend Sophie and her boys Rupert and Willem at the Tasmanian Museum & Art Gallery yesterday – a perfect outing for a rainy day!

Rupert and Poppy were issued with their ‘toolkits’ and discovered the museum through new eyes:

Museum toolkits
If you just need the basics for your visit to TMAG then pick up your personal ‘toolkit’ from the Visitor Information desk. The free loan toolkits include several ‘tools’ to assist younger visitors in making their museum discoveries. Toolkits are suitable for children aged 4-7.

Colonial collections such as John Glover paintings were appreciated through binoculars; native animals were magnified through an eye piece and a sketching of Tasmania’s natural environment in the Bond Store Galleries! Sophie and I couldn’t stop laughing at our little museum buffs!
