148 Darlinghurst Road, Darlinghurst NSW 2010
When

Tuesday 16 April from 2pm to 4pm

Cost

Child with accompanying parent/guardian: $18.00

Meet Holocaust survivor Paul Drexler and discover his remarkable life story at this extra-special kids’ event at the Museum. 

Learn how a simple blanket given to Paul as a young boy by his father became his portal to ancient Egypt – a world of pyramids, palm trees, and camels – offering solace and escape during dark times.

In this intimate, sensitive and age-appropriate exploration, Paul will share his personal story with children, providing insight into a chapter of history that must never be forgotten. 

Kids will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage directly with Paul, going “behind the scenes” of the Museum to learn about our precious collection of artefacts, and their stories. 

Bookings are essential. Tickets include entry to the Museum as well as this interactive workshop. Children must be accompanied by a parent or adult guardian. Please ensure you inform us of any allergies your child might have via the booking form.

$18 per child, parent/guardian free
