Exhibition dates: 8 November 2025 to 8 March 2025

The Children’s Sensorium, curated by Grace McQuilten with artistic direction from N'arwee't Carolyn Briggs, is an interactive exhibition featuring light, colour, touch, sound, smell and taste to activate children’s curiosity, connect them to local Country, and introduce strategies and techniques that support emotional resilience and wellbeing.

The exhibition is designed for children aged 4 to 11 and their parents and carers. It includes sense-based installations to create an environment that is fun and engaging. It includes a variety of materials for play and is a space that children can spend time to explore their senses, feelings, thoughts, worries and hopes.
