The Weaving Room celebrates the history and diversity of First Nations weaving traditions in NSW.

Community weaving groups from around the state will share their cultural and creative traditions, knowledge and experiences while in residence at the Museum of Sydney.

Hear from Elders and artists about their traditional weaving practices, create your own piece to take home at our drop-in workshops and make a special connection to First Nations culture.

Visit the museum's website for timings for when weavers will be in residence.
