Sharing Stories Across Generations

Sharing stories, memories and wisdom is an important part of connecting generations. Join us for a two-part session that uncovers storytelling between the generations through a museum visit, interactive workshop, and family activity. Perfect for grandparents, parents or caregivers seeking a meaningful and interactive family activity this winter.

•  In part one, visitors will experience the multi-award-winning, age-appropriate children's exhibition, Hidden: Seven Children Saved. This exhibition follows seven Melbourne Holocaust survivors as they share their stories of survival, and the kindness of the people that saved them.

•  In part two, a Museum facilitator will lead a workshop on the importance of storytelling, and the different ways to tell stories. Young visitors will work together with a family member to create a recollection of a memory, sharing stories between generations. This memory could be written as a memoir or even drawn or visually created using a variety of materials.

Please note this exhibition is suitable for ages 10 and up.
