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.

Tahlia's Woolly Inspiration!


The Albany Woolly Bush
By Tahlia from Woodbury Boston PS

What I like about the Albnay Woolly Bush is that it's really soft and can be used for a pillow or bed can also be used for making a kaunt.

My idea to exhibit this is to present it in a display and feel case. (< See Right)

The feel case is for the people to put their hand in and feel the Woolly Bush and the display case is just for the people to not feel, but look at the beautiful Woolly Bush.

If you like Tahila's inspiration give her some feedback by commenting below!

- Brilliant exhibit . I love it.

- This is a great exhibit idea -the touching of the bush is a great way to exhibit it
