There's something about a museum cabinet full of labeled curiosities that makes my heart pitter patter that little bit faster. I'm especially drawn to new shapes, forms and textures, like the sea sponge skeleton above. Shapes and textures that often then find their way in to my jewellery after such excursions.
Yesterday we visited the 'Deep Oceans' exhibition at the Queensland Museum, Brisbane. I was just as excited as Cohen to see the preserved giant squid and wander through the cabinets and displays with an inquiring mind. At five, Cohen is such a little knowledge sponge right now, and so eager to learn. We are endeavoring to provide him with as many opportunities as possible to see and understand the world and feed his passion for learning while he is so receptive. 'Deep Oceans' was certainly a win in that regard. He loved looking at and interacting with all the displays, and then playing on the themed playground at the end.
Next weekend I am thinking we will visit the Planetarium.
