Hop In! - An immersive world of play featuring Beci Orpin's Bunny Dearest
2026-04-18 - 2026-11-22 | Canberra Museum & Gallery, 180 London Circuit, Canberra
Step into a playful, hands-on exhibition designed for children aged 3–12 and their families.
Hop In! turns the familiar family home inside out. Rooms shift in scale and perspective, inviting children to move, build and imagine in surprising new ways.
Stretch out beneath a sky of clouds and gaze up into the grass. Crawl under oversized furniture to create your own secret world. Splash, tumble and explore a pool made for play, or wander through reimagined kitchens, backyards and bedrooms where creativity takes over.
At the heart of the exhibition is Bunny Dearest by artist Beci Orpin — a gentle, guiding companion woven throughout these imaginative environments.
Designed for active play and open-ended discovery, Hop In! sparks curiosity, builds confidence and creates opportunities for families to connect through shared play.
Free entry
Children must be supervised by an adult.

RELICS: A New World Rises
2026-09-19 - 2027-01-31
RELICS: A New World Rises is an immersive exhibition where vintage objects become homes for intricate miniature worlds built from LEGO® bricks.
A refrigerator becomes a cryogenic wellness resort. A Volkswagen Beetle powers an underground energy revolution. A grandfather clock becomes a time machine. Across more than 15 large-scale installations, tiny civilisations have adapted to the objects left behind by humanity, each one filled with hidden details, layered narratives and unexpected humour.
Created by LEGO® Masters winners Jackson Harvey and Alex Towler, RELICS combines sculpture, design, storytelling and nostalgia into an experience unlike a traditional museum exhibition or typical LEGO® display. The deeper you look, the more you discover.
Set in an imagined future where humans have abandoned Earth, the exhibition playfully explores creativity, consumer culture, sustainability and the objects we leave behind.
Loved by all, from ages 0–99, RELICS invites visitors to slow down, look closer, and rediscover the joy of curiosity and imagination.
