Hubby has been on holidays this week, and while he still hasn't uploaded some gorgeous photos of Little G that I wish to decorate this blog with he DID take Geekling on his first museum trip yesterday.
The Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane is running a 21st Century Kids exhibit until 26 April 2011 - it looks like so much fun! I desperately wanted to take Geekling myself, but had to sit back and let Hubby have this experience as I have well and truly had my share and it was high time they got to do something together, just the boys. Most the exhibits are interactive to some degree, but a little too 'old' for Geekling. He loved looking around at the museum, and enjoyed trying to get involved although some of the exhibits like the ribbon wall (with pins) and Lego city (small parts he kept trying to put in his mouth) weren't really appropriate.
They did enjoy an interactive exhibit where you put a camera device atop your child's head which records things from their point of view while they crawl or run about. Sadly, the software that allows you to then email that footage home to yourself (or to a jealous mummy at work) wasn't working.
There is also an exhibit that is basically a room full of balloons - Hubby was running short of time so they didn't make it to this part, which is a shame because Geekling would have LOVED it. But that's ok, it's a good excuse for Mumma to take him back again!
GoMA is generally free, including this exhibit. They also normally have a toddler/kiddies art section downstairs but I think it is still damaged from the January floods.
Hubby didn't capture any pictures but here are a couple of blogs and sites that have:
