Each weekday during Australian Children’s Book Week, one of the Musuem's scientists will be reading a story book in one of our galleries. The scientist will also share a bit about what they do at the Museum and can answer questions from the audience.

‍

Find our scientist in the following locations with story time readings starting at 10:30am each morning:

- Opalised Fossils Gallery on Level 3 on Monday, Tuesday and Friday;

- Discovery Centre on Level 1 on Wednesday; and

- Australian Polar Collections on Level 3 on Thursday.

Please note that the schedule is subject to change. For the most up-to-date information, we will have story time locations on the What's On at the Museum screen by the Information desk and a special announcement over the intercom each morning.
