1, 2, 3 Grow
Exhibition
This exhibition tells the story of growth through the themes of
size, colour and shape, and uses a wonderful selection of specimens
from the Museum's natural history collections. This gives you
the opportunity to compare your own growth story to the way
animals, plants and minerals grow. This exhibition is designed for
three to eight year olds and their parents/carers, and will delight
and inspire all ages. It forms the centrepiece for the
Children's Museum and is a link to many other exhibitions
within Melbourne Museum.
