About the exhibition

Celebrating 60 years of songs, stories, and learning, Play School: Come and Play! lets little ones peek behind the scenes of Australia’s most beloved television show. Made with ACMI and ABC Originals, it’s not a history lesson – it’s a hands-on, playful exhibition where families can discover how Play School comes to life.
