Parents looking to keep the kids entertain and informed these school holidays should head to the Nicholson Museum. The University of Sydney’s centre for antiquity will host a series of free kids’ workshops and interactive classes throughout the July break.
They can explore Indigenous culture this NAIDOC Week through art workshops and a free tour of the Macleay collection on July 10. On July 12 the kids can turn trash into treasure with a free art class where they’ll be inspired by ancient cultures to help them construct artworks out of waste (you'll need to book a spot for this one). Or, journey to ancient Rome on July 19 for a day of centurion dress-ups, artefact investigations and Roman-themed arts and crafts.
