What happens?
Participants who have physical or intellectual disabilities are encouraged to participate in these free programs with their carers. After viewing relevant displays and hearing about the stories in the Landmarks gallery for about 20 minutes, participants will then experience music and movement relating to the exhibits in a fun and inclusive environment. These music activity workshops will last between 30 and 45 minutes.
Numbers are limited so bookings are essential.
