MOMA AT NGV with kid’s

The National Gallery of Victoria, in partnership with The Museum of Modern Art, New York, presents MoMA at NGV: 130 Years of Modern and Contemporary Art.

Photo: Eugene Hyland

Over nine decades, The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York has built one of the largest and most influential collections of modern and contemporary art in the world and for the first time ever NGV has bought some of that collection to Melbourne.

Photo: Melbourne with Kidz

The collection including works which have never been seen in Australia – from a line-up of nineteenth and twentieth-century artists, including artworks by Pablo Picasso, Frida Kahlo, Vincent van Gogh and Andy Warhol.

Photo: Melbourne with Kidz

Throughout the exhibition there are more than 25 children’s labels with helpful facts and information about each artwork and artist, which come in handy while exploring with kids.

Photo: Eugene Hyland

The Viewfinder (pictured above) is a great tool that children can take throughout the exhibition to focus in on different artworks and learn about some of the themes in each exhibition space. The tool is broke into eight sections – the eight sections of the exhibition – and prompts children with questions and ideas about some of the works in the space.

harry potter aNd tHe cursed child in melbourne

The multi-award winning production will open exclusively in Melbourne with performances from Wednesday January 16, 2019 at the Princess Theatre.

Based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a new play by Jack Thorne, directed by John Tiffany.

Credit Manuel Harlan

It is the eighth story in the Harry Potter series and the first official Harry Potter story to be presented on stage.

Credit Manuel Harlan

The critically acclaimed production is the most awarded play in theatre history. Since opening in London in July 2016 it has won 24 major theatre awards in the UK, with a record-breaking nine Olivier Awards including Best New Play and Best Director. It made its Broadway premiere in April 2018 and is the most awarded show of the season, winning 25 awards in total, including six Tony Awards, six Outer Critics Circle Awards and five Drama Desk Awards.

Credit Manuel Harlan

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is one play presented in two Parts, which are intended to be seen in order on the same day (matinee and evening) or on two consecutive evenings.
It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn’t much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband and father of three school-age children.

Credit Manuel Harlan

While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places.

The Australian cast of 42 performers will be led by Gareth Reeves as Harry Potter, Paula Arundell as Hermione Granger, Gyton Grantley as Ron Weasley, Lucy Goleby as Ginny Potter, Sean Rees-Wemyss as Albus Potter, Tom Wren as Draco Malfoy and William McKenna as Scorpius Malfoy.

Credit Manuel Harlan

How To See The Play

• Parts One and Two together on the same day or consecutive evenings (recommended)
