Step into the world of light, mirrors, and patterns in this hands-on DIY Kaleidoscope workshop!

Inspired by the groundbreaking discoveries of Ibn Al-Haytham, the father of modern optics, participants will explore how light reflection and symmetry create mesmerizing designs. Learn about the science behind optical illusions while crafting your own colourful kaleidoscope, just as scholars of the Islamic Golden Age studied the mysteries of vision and perception. Discover how art and science intertwine in this exciting workshop, perfect for curious minds of all ages!

In its ongoing commitment to combatting Islamophobia, the Islamic Museum of Australia champions an understanding and appreciation for Islamic art and culture. The autumn school holiday program is supported by the Victorian Government.
