You’ll never hear ‘Don’t touch!’ and ‘Shhh!’ at Museum Mash! People of all ages are invited to explore the museum in new ways – fostering creativity, making memories, and building a lifelong love for museums and galleries. Sing! Dance! Colour on the walls! Is that a giant cardboard fort? YES!

On Sunday, October 6 at 10 am the doors at the Nelson Museum are flung open and free activities are offered throughout the day, until 3 pm. Drumming, cardboard forts, and giant Jenga will entertain younger children while older artists get creative with printmaking and papercrafts. Designed with kids in mind, Museum Mash! is a beloved semi-annual event that encourages families to explore the museum in unique ways.
