Stories in the Stars

Celebrate National Science Week (13–21 August 2022) with this family workshop co-presented by the Hellenic Museum and Islamic Museum of Australia.

Be immersed in a stellar presentation that will showcase Islamic and ancient Greek stories about constellations, stars, planets and the universe. Then, delve into the magnificent minds of historic astronomers, from Ptolemy to al-Sufi, and create your own model astrolabe calibrated to the Melbourne sky.

Ideal for children aged 7–13.
