A Day at the Museum - Collections of Curios

Join us at Herdsman Lake Discovery Centre this school holidays as the WA Gould League unlocks the archives and shares its wealth of natural science treasures! There are decades worth of amazing museum-worthy curios that we would love to share with your budding scientists, conservationists and naturalists.

This workshop will be presented as a museum exhibition with a variety of environmental and wildlife collections, including skulls, nests, preserved and taxidermied specimens, 3-D models and dioramas.

There will be a variety of interactive and hands-on activities for inquisitive little minds! Children can examine items up close and make observations, recreate fungi specimens using air-dry clay, match skulls to their animal and diet, build a nest, watch a nature documentary and more.

Please note this is not a drop-off program, howeve adults are welcome to participate in the workshop, or make use of the free wifi and coffee window by the lake.
