Turtle-riffic arts and crafts at the Sydney Opera House


  • Sydney Opera House (map)

Join the Sydney Opera House team in the foyer between Waru shows to create your own turtle artwork and learn about the Torres Strait Islands.

Facilitated by experts from the Australian National Maritime Museum, this activity will be available from 9:30am - 3pm.

The exhibit will also feature sculptures made from ghost nets which pose a threat to marine life. These have been creatively repurposed to reduce their impact.
