Celebrate the weird and bizarre objects from the Museum’s Collection and create your own piece of memento mori.
A memento mori is an artistic or symbolic representation of the latin phrase, 'remember you must die'.
In this Museum Lab you will explore the ancient art of scientific illustration as well as the new digital world of collecting, witness live taxidermy and learn how to preserve your own specimens.
Memento Mori is a Museum Lab program, a fortnightly laboratory that takes the entire family on a journey of discovery exploring the nexus of science and art — old and new.
This is a hands-on workshop designed to increase skills and satisfy inquiring minds with activities in art, technology and making.
If you register for a tour, program or an event, general entry is included in your booking.
