Museum Express Science Shows

COVID-19 UPDATE:

To ensure the safety of our visitors and staff and as we comply with the latest NSW Public Health Order, some of our public programming remains temporarily suspended or restricted in some way.

Museum Express aims to deliver affordable high quality science education to primary schools in the Hunter and Central Coast regions.

All its products are curriculum linked and connected to the Museum's exhibition program to ensure they are relevant, engaging and outcome focussed for schools.

Museum Express is an outreach program presented by a qualified teacher.
