THE newest chapter in the Naracoorte Sheep’s Back Museum has opened with the recent debut of the purpose-built Children’s Museum.
After almost five years of planning and construction, the new museum provides young visitors with a space specifically dedicated to the educational growth for children through imaginative and physical play.
The facility, housed in a former structure from the Kybybolite Primary School, targets children with a range of hands-on exhibits including a fossil table, an old cash register and lino printing.
The interactive exhibits cover a wide variety of region-specific interests, including native birds and animals, old cameras, board games and household goods and a section dedicated to the World Heritage listed Naracoorte Caves.
