Museum of the Great Southern goes global for September school holidays with sushi rolling and kabuki painting

The Museum of the Great Southern is exploring the intricate art of origami and perfecting the art of sushi-making these school holidays.

The legend of samurai and the journeys of a ninja will have children hooked as they learn of the range of skills in combat and strategy warriors would have to learn to succeed in their arts.

Parents will also have the opportunity to brush up on their Japanese calligraphy skills, known as shodo, and will also be challenged to make the perfect sushi roll.

Museum of the Great Southern regional manager Catherine Salmaggi said the museum was delighted to bring a slice of the global community to the Great Southern during these school holidays.

“The museum’s Discovery Centre has been totally taken over by all things Japan and we’re excited to share all of it with the Great Southern community,” she said.

“Families can come along together and enjoy the Museum’s Sixteen Legs exhibition which will be on throughout the school holidays as well.”
