For the adults there’s plenty to look at and read and for the kids there are a few fun interactive activities to explore. My son loved them all. \nI highly recommend you check it out if you have kids or grandkids under the age of 8 or if you’re just a big kid at heart or admirer of beautiful stories/illustrations like me. \nIt’s free and on until July 2027 but don’t leave it till the last minute! \nThe State Library of NSW also hosts a number of other excellent exhibitions (not really suitable for young children though). \n#pamelaallen #pamelaallenexhibition #statelibraryofnsw #lauraharrispublishing #penguinbooks #penguinkidsbooks

SUMMARY:The True History of the Life and Death of King Lear and His Three Daughters
DESCRIPTION:The True History of the Life and Death of King Lear and His Three Daughters\nKing Lear – Belvoir Theatre \nShakespeare’s towering tragedy comes alive in a bold\, electrifying Belvoir production\, anchored by the formidable presence of Colin Friels as Lear. Raw\, powerful\, and uncompromising\, this is a version of the classic that feels immediate\, visceral\, and unflinchingly human. \nIt should be simple. Lear is ready to retire: he will divide his kingdom among his three daughters\, each will govern in harmony\, he will live out his days in peace\, and the transition of power will be smooth. But the universe has other plans. Loyalty\, love\, and ambition collide in a storm of deceit\, betrayal\, and heartbreak\, sending Lear – and everyone around him- into a spiral of chaos and revelation. \nThis is a play about the fragility of power\, the consequences of hubris\, and what happens when the trappings of privilege\, education\, and civilisation are stripped away. It forces us to confront the human condition in all its complexity: pride\, folly\, desire\, and mortality. With its potent mix of emotional intensity\, psychological depth\, and unrelenting drama\, Belvoir’s King Lear is not just a performance – it’s an experience that lingers long after the final curtain. \n–> More Info / Book Tickets Here

SUMMARY:City of Wonder: Wildflower Edition
DESCRIPTION:City of Wonder: Wildflower Edition\nIN COLLABORATION WITH INTERNATIONAL ARTIST RAFFAELE SALVOLDI (ITALY) \nRaffaele Salvoldi (Instagram) is an acclaimed Italian performance artist\, known for his striking ephemeral installations that explore the balance between matter\, time\, and gravity. Using thousands of carefully stacked wooden planks\, he creates monumental urban landscapes where the boundaries between art and architecture blur in captivating ways. \nCity of Wonder was born from Kidwonder’s dream to create a space where sustainability\, creativity\, and play come together. Collaborating with Raffaele has been an incredible experience\, bringing that vision to life by uniting his awe-inspiring artistry with our purpose-driven ethos. Together\, we’ve created more than a city — we’ve created a world where imagination flourishes and wonder truly comes alive. \nAbout Mark Taylor\, Founder of Kidwonder \nMark Taylor is the Founder of Kidwonder and Director of award-winning experience agency Belle Laide Events (BLE)\, with nearly two decades of experience delivering high-impact projects for global brands across Australia\, APAC\, and the USA.

Through immersive\, child-led experiences\, Mark is driven by a mission to spark curiosity\, creativity\, and confidence in the next generation. \nKidwonder x Raffaele Salvoldi: Collaboration & Sustainability \nThe collaboration with Raffaele Salvoldi came from a shared vision of creativity and sustainability. When Founder Mark Taylor discovered Salvoldi’s plank-based installations\, he saw a natural fit with Kidwonder’s idea for a child-built city using recycled plastic blocks. Excited to involve kids in the process\, they created City of Wonder\, a space where imagination\, collaboration\, and sustainable design come together. \nUnlike typical school holiday programs\, City of Wonder focuses on purposeful play\, letting children explore sustainability\, urban design\, and teamwork through hands-on\, creative experiences. Most materials\, including hard-to-recycle straws from the NSW 2022 Single-Use Plastic Ban\, are locally sourced and transformed into imaginative building blocks. Every aspect is designed to be low-waste\, reusable\, and environmentally conscious\, inspiring kids to think critically about the world and their role in shaping it. \nThis immersive experience invites visitors to take part in one of three engaging ways: \n• General Admission: A self-paced\, family-friendly experience where children (and young-at-heart adults) can explore freely\, build imaginative structures\, create with wildflowers\, and bring their own urban ideas to life. \n• Wonder Workshops: Intimate\, expert-led sessions that explore sustainability concepts and creative building techniques in greater depth\, guided by the City of Wonder team. \n• VIP Artist Experience: An exclusive opportunity to work with Italian artist Raffaele Salvoldi\, who leads participants through his distinctive approach to sustainable design and artistic expression.

SUMMARY:Beach
DESCRIPTION:The Beach\nThe centrepiece of the Australian National Maritime Museum’s summer program is The Beach — an exhibition and all-ages playscape designed to bring people together and highlight kindness\, care and community. \nThe Beach reflects shared Australian values: looking out for one another\, welcoming difference\, and celebrating our seaside culture. It affirms the beach as a place that belongs to everyone and should always feel safe and welcoming. \nFollowing the tragic events of 14 December\, the museum reflected deeply on whether to continue. Director and CEO Ms Daryl Karp AM said the decision was ultimately to move forward\, showcasing beaches as places of connection and belonging — spaces of shared joy\, openness and togetherness at the heart of Australian life. \nFun\, art and memory come together through digital projections\, soundscapes\, interactive rockpools and a towering sand-free castle\, transforming the Lighthouse Gallery into a familiar yet imaginative summer world. Here\, the beach becomes not just a destination\, but a way of seeing ourselves and each other. \nWorks by artists including Anne Zahalka\, Max Dupain\, Lola Ryan\, Charles Meere and Ken Done celebrate beach rituals and cultural rhythms\, inviting reflection on how the beach shapes us — and how we shape it. \nPrograms including babies’ hour\, family workshops\, performances\, late nights\, yoga and life drawing encourage connection and acknowledge that beaches have not always felt safe for everyone. Visitors are invited to consider inclusion\, respect and shared responsibility on the shore. \nThe Beach runs as part of the museum’s summer program 19 December 2025 –  1 February 2026\, 10:00 am—4:00 pm.  \nEntry fees – Holiday ticket\n\n\nAdult: $40.00\nFamily: $99.00\nConcession: $35.00\nChild: $30.00\nInfant: Free\nMember: Free\n\n\nhttps://fun-filled-finds.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/The-Beach-objects.mp4\n \nhttps://fun-filled-finds.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/The-Beach-rockpools.mp4\n
