The Magnificent Land of Wonderous Things

Unbox your imagination and help build a cardboard forest these School Holidays!

The 'Magnificent Land of Wonderous Things' is a free, hands-on exhibition where imagination comes to life. 

You’re invited to step inside an immersive, evolving world of cardboard art where tiny Wonderlings explore, play and feel protected, and where visitors of all ages can admire and engage with art.

You won't want to miss this unique exhibition - three weeks only across the Winter School Holidays!

The exhibition brings together original artworks by Kym Cunningham and community contributions from schools across the region. 

Participating schools include Woolooga State School, Widgee State School, Wolvi State School, Gympie South State School, Victory College and Two Mile State School.

Visit the Gallery anytime during the exhibition to enjoy a free Makers Table, where you can create a cardboard Wonderling to take home or add to the exhibition!

Don't forget to explore our range of free and ticketed workshops and events here.
