Number 61: 'Curious Creatures and Marvelous Monsters' at Te Papa.

Our first art exhibition for kids with James at the Te Papa National Museum, a landmark here in Wellington, and an exceptional, world-class museum. With a exhibit called 'Curious Creatures and Marvelous Monsters', I couldn't wait to see James' response.

Number 61:
'Curious Creatures and Marvelous Monsters'

Magical, monstrous and imagined creatures from Te Papa's art collection put together in an interactive and creative way to entertain and amuse little people. 
And James was certainly intrigued, opening 'mouse' doors at floor level and peeping into the art, looking through portholes at strange creatures, touching, listening, drawing and playing. 
It was magical and a delightful outing for Nan and Pops with our little man.

Arriving at Te Papa, braving the sneaky cold wind!
Curious Creatures indeed!
Marvelous Monsters.
