BACKGROUND TO MK Y2Y CONSULTATION

Millennium Kids (MK) is working with the Western Australian Museum and the Commissioner for Children and Young People to offer young people an opportunity to have a say about how the Museum presents it’s exhibitions and collections through an innovative series of workshops and training activities. It’s all part of a new initiative to consult with young people about the future directions of the Western Australian Museum.

Millennium Kids will be scouring the region for inspiring people with stories to tell or exhibit to inspire young people in the lead up to the workshops.

The MK Team have already consulted with a number of people who have some fabulous exhibition concepts around the things that inspire them about the local region.

On the 1 April a team of thirty interested young people will be trained as facilitators who will lead the one day workshop on 2 June with one hundred young delegates.

The Inspiration Of Music

Hi I’m Taran, my inspiration is music and this is why:

Firstly I just like sound, and music circles around you and it bounces inside my chest.


Listening to music I find a good way to forget something I'm worrying about, and I can relax. I find music a great creative outlet. I like the way music can have layers, or it can be random.

I also like the endless possibilities of music or sound. Imagine life without sound or music.

For an exhibit, I would bring photos of large instruments and bring in some smaller instruments, with some old and modern sheet music.

I reckon that this is a great idea. Music is definitely a big part of today's society and you're right; there are endless possibilities when it comes to music.
