Our museum can accommodate up to 50 students per Hidden session and 120 students for the In Touch with Memory program – and we generally have multiple schools attending the same session.

If you prefer to book an exclusive session for your group, we can arrange this at a cost. Please note this on your booking request form, and we’ll get in touch to discuss your options.

We hold two sessions every weekday:

• 9.45am to 12pm
• 12.15pm to 2.30pm

Our session times are set and cannot be changed.

In line with the Victorian Education Department guidelines for local excursions, the regular 1:20 staff–student ratio – with an additional accompanying staff member – apply.

You should also have a minimum of two staff in your school group.

While at the MHM, your educational institution is responsible for supervising student behaviour throughout the visit, including during the workshop. MHM staff and facilitators, in this case, are the guest presenters.

Our In Touch with Memory program includes a unique Q+A session with a survivor.

However, they may sometimes be unable to attend the program due to ill health. If this happens, we will inform you and change the program activities.

All bags may be subject to security inspection before you enter the museum.

To protect our collection, you will not be allowed to consume or carry any food or drinks on site. This includes chewing gum and lollies.

There’s a lot to explore in our neighbourhood.
