School holiday activity: Our Treasures, your treasures - 28 January, 10:30am

This holidays, step into the magic of our recently refreshed Treasures Gallery. Discover some of the Library’s most fascinating objects, then let your imagination take over!

In this hands-on craft session, kids will design and decorate their very own keepsake box to safely store and display their personal treasures. A celebration of creativity, history and self-expression, this activity invites young makers to turn inspiration into something special to take home.
