Join Dr. Kate Lawless for Soil Storytime in the Main Gallery as families explore the hidden world beneath our feet through storytelling, hands-on soil investigation, and simple experiments. Inspired by the exhibition (re)mediating soils: Storied Soils, children will become “soil detectives,” using jeweller’s loupes to look closely at different soils, textures, colours, and the tiny stories held within them.
