Saturday Art Club
Join us every month from August onwards for a range of art workshops inspired by Ron Mueck's amazing sculptures. There really is something for everyone.
We have everything a family would want for a great day out.
Our free to visit Playroom is open again to drop into whenever you want with art supplies for kids. (Big kids can join in too!)
Situated on the ground floor, it’s open from 9am - 5pm, Wed - Sun. It's a fun, vibrant space where kids can learn about the art in our galleries, create their own art to take home or put up on the gallery wall, or just relax, play, or read a book from our carefully curated selection.
