Take a deep dive into the wonders of the oceans and beaches at the fun and informative pop-up museum coming to Whittlesea for the school holidays.
Museums Victoria will be staging the pop-museum at two locations on Friday, July 11 called the Ocean Wonders.
The first of of these is Riverside Community Activity Centre in South Morang, from 10.30-11:30am and Thomastown Recreation and Aquatic Centre, from 2-3pm.
The pop-up museum will showcase real objects from the Melbourne Museum, helping kids learn all about incredible marine creatures while getting a close-up look at shells, sharks and ancient sea animals.
Highlights include a taxidermied green sea turtle and seagull, a tiger shark jaw and whale vertebra, as well as a tooth from a Megalodon, one of the largest sharks to ever exist.
The pop-up museum is free, but bookings are essential.
The museum is for children aged between three and 13.
