HAPPY BIRTHDAY PLAY SCHOOL

Open wide, come inside.

Happy Birthday Play School : Celebrating 50 years is a travelling exhibition developed by the National Museum of Australia and the ABC. The exhibition will feature the iconic Rocket Clock, Flower Clock and the famous Play School Windows.

The colourful exhibition explores the five decades of Play School by featuring toys, props and costumes from each period, alongside archival audio and video clips of past programs and presenters having fun.

Big Ted, Little Ted, Humpty and Jemima are heading to Gold Coast City Gallery as part of a celebratory exhibition to commemorate the 50th birthday of the much-loved Australian television program – Play School.

Play School stars Big Ted, Little Ted, Humpty and Jemima are also joining the exhibition party, which provides adults a chance to reminisce about their favourite presenters and children an opportunity to get up close to these program icons.

Join in the celebrations! Happy Birthday Play School: Celebrating 50 years will run from 3 December 2016 to 5 February 2017.
