NCM is situated on the lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people. We pay respects to them, especially their Elders and storytellers, as well as all First Peoples, nationwide. NCM acknowledges that communication technologies have a long history here, far longer than European occupation.

NCM Kids

NCM Kids offers an interactive learning experience for bright young minds who will shape our technology-driven future.

Our museum-wide program is designed for children of all ages and features immersive environments and interactive technology experiences that encourage intergenerational learning and hands-on fun.

On level 1, our dedicated Kids Hub invites kids to follow overhead cables to different nodes, discovering the weird and wonderful ways messages are sent and received around the world and beyond.

Stay tuned for our early learners program, which will include everything from parents and bubs morning sessions to Quantum storytime.
