11/09/2024 - Hurstville Museum & Gallery.

Join a tour of 1X4, our current Main Gallery exhibition, with your little one.

Our Baby Explorers program is designed for parents and carers of babies 12 months and under to come to Hurstville Museum & Gallery for a guided tour of the current Main Gallery exhibition.

A special sensory pit of soft and textured materials, interesting sounds, colours and shapes will be available for your baby to explore. The program begins with stories and songs in the sensory pit to help settle the babies. It continues with a guided tour of the current Main Gallery exhibition.

Parents and carers are encouraged to engage with their babies during the tour, and as the Main Gallery is one large room, parents and carers can stay close to the sensory pit and still be involved with the tour. In this relaxed program our aim is that you and your baby can feel at ease in the Museum & Gallery.

About the 1X4 exhibition:
Museums use objects to tell stories. It sounds simple but it’s complicated. Objects can tell multiple stories from many points of view. So, who chooses the story? Which story is the truth? In museums, curators choose an interpretation but 1X4 turns this upside down. Each object in this exhibition tells four distinct stories. You can listen to or read each of the four stories, or some, or none and just enjoy the beauty of the objects. Every story is the truth about the object and is a valid way to view the object, but they are all different.

1x4 is a travelling exhibition developed by Newcastle Museum.
