It's that time of year once again! The jolly Mr Santa Claus
himself will be stopping by the Animal Attic at the Otago
Museum to spread Christmas spirit - Victorian-style!
From Tuesday December 20 until Christmas Eve, young visitors
can have their photo taken, then get festive with activities,
facepainting, story time and crazy Christmas merriment
throughout the day! Photos with Santa are available for
purchase at $3.
The museum's supervised holiday programme, Discovery Squad,
starts early these summer holidays with some pre-Christmas
cheer. Like a jam-packed stocking, these morning sessions -
which run from Tuesday December 20 until Friday December 23 -
are stuffed full of activities creating, crafting and
celebrating Christmas.
Opening Tuesday December 20 in Discovery World, see the
highlights of last year's hugely popular summer exhibition!
The Your Face Here - The Science Edition lets visitors see
themselves in ways they would never imagine!
And don't miss the latest special exhibition, Focal Point:
150 years of the Otago Daily Times, presenting images from
the newspaper's history, celebrating its role as an integral
part of the Otago community.
