The museum is going free on July 6, opening up all their exhibitions and vessels to assist families with cost-of-living pressures and also to mark the start of NAIDOC Week 2025.
Ms Daryl Karp AM, CEO & Director said, ’We are going free on July 6 as we know families are struggling and we want to make sure everyone can see all our offering not just our regular free galleries. So, the chance to open everything to everyone and to celebrate NAIDOC Week seemed too great an opportunity.”
This year’s NAIDOC Week theme is The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy.
The day will begin with a Smoking Ceremony led by Elder Uncle Les, providing a foundation of respect and tradition.
From there, the celebrations continue with a range of engaging and educational activities:
- Dance workshops with the incredible Bangarra Dance Company, sharing movement and story through culture
- Bush drinks and native plant workshops with Koori Kulcha, where you’ll taste delicious beverages
- Face painting and an array of art-making activities including a drop in mural making workshop with Nioka Lowe-Brennan
- Live music performances throughout the day, bringing rhythm and energy to every corner of the celebration
Plus
- Free vessels – submarine, historical tall ships, warships and so much more.
- Wildlife Photographer of the Year & Ultimate Depth exhibitions.
Ms Karp continued, ‘July 6 is truly a day for us all to celebrate. Join us as we look at who we are past, present and future.’
