Summer is here, and with it comes the familiar, seasonal pull towards the water. The air is warmer, the days stretch longer, and the city starts to shimmer with the promise of holidays. This year, the museum captures that feeling, bringing the beach to the heart of the harbour with a program that celebrates sunshine, culture, and the simple pleasure of being in, on or by the water.

Inside the Lighthouse Gallery, The Beach beckons, an intergenerational, immersive playscape that captures the spirit of the season. It’s bright, breezy, and full of surprises: digital storytelling, exhibition, play, and performance all come together to explore how the beach connects us, shapes our stories, and brings communities together. Visitors are invited to slow down, reflect, and get lost in a space that feels both nostalgic and new – a summer escape without leaving the city.

Early morning yoga and evening life drawing offer moments of calm reflection, while art and maker workshops and artist talks invite everyone to imagine and create.

We have something for everyone.
When: 19 December 2025 - 1 February 2026
Our summer holiday program includes a mix of free and paid activities. Check each event page for more details.
